Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

One who forgets the Lord's Name, suffers in pain.

Those who join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and dwell upon the Lord, find the Ocean of virtue. ||1||Pause||

Those Gurmukhs whose hearts are filled with wisdom,

hold the nine treasures, and the miraculous spiritual powers of the Siddhas in the palms of their hands. ||1||

Those who know the Lord God as their Master,

do not lack anything. ||2||

Those who realize the Creator Lord,

enjoy all peace and pleasure. ||3||

Those whose inner homes are filled with the Lord's wealth

- says Nanak, in their company, pain departs. ||4||9||147||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Your pride is so great, but what about your origins?

You cannot remain, no matter how much you try to hold on. ||1||Pause||

That which is forbidden by the Vedas and the Saints - with that, you are in love.

Like the gambler losing the game of chance, you are held in the power of sensory desires. ||1||

The One who is All-powerful to empty out and fill up - you have no love for His Lotus Feet.

O Nanak, I have been saved, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. I have been blessed by the Treasure of Mercy. ||2||10||148||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

I am the slave of my Lord and Master.

I eat whatever God gives me. ||1||Pause||

Such is my Lord and Master.

In an instant, He creates and embellishes. ||1||

I do that work which pleases my Lord and Master.

I sing the songs of God's glory, and His wondrous play. ||2||

I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord's Prime Minister;

beholding Him, my mind is comforted and consoled. ||3||

The One Lord is my support, the One is my steady anchor.

Servant Nanak is engaged in the Lord's work. ||4||11||149||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Is there anyone, who can shatter his ego,

and turn his mind away from this sweet Maya? ||1||Pause||

Humanity is in spiritual ignorance; people see things that do not exist.

The night is dark and gloomy; how will the morning dawn? ||1||

Wandering, wandering all around, I have grown weary; trying all sorts of things, I have been searching.

Says Nanak, He has shown mercy to me; I have found the treasure of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||12||150||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

He is the Wish-fulfilling Jewel, the Embodiment of Mercy. ||1||Pause||

The Supreme Lord God is Merciful to the meek; Meditating in remembrance on Him, peace is obtained. ||1||

The Wisdom of the Undying Primal Being is beyond comprehension. Hearing His Praises, millions of sins are erased. ||2||

O God, Treasure of Mercy, please bless Nanak with Your kindness, that he may repeat the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||13||151||

Gauree Poorbee, Fifth Mehl:

O my mind, in the Sanctuary of God, peace is found.

That day, when the Giver of life and peace is forgotten - that day passes uselessly. ||1||Pause||

You have come as a guest for one short night, and yet you hope to live for many ages.

Households, mansions and wealth - whatever is seen, is like the shade of a tree. ||1||

My body, wealth, and all my gardens and property shall all pass away.

You have forgotten your Lord and Master, the Great Giver. In an instant, these shall belong to somebody else. ||2||
