The Guru who gave me my soul,

has Himself purchased me, and made me His slave. ||6||

He Himself has blessed me with His Love.

Forever and ever, I humbly bow to the Guru. ||7||

My troubles, conflicts, fears, doubts and pains have been dispelled;

says Nanak, my Guru is All-powerful. ||8||9||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Meet me, O my Lord of the Universe. Please bless me with Your Name.

Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, cursed, cursed is love and intimacy. ||1||Pause||

Without the Naam, one who dresses and eats well

is like a dog, who falls in and eats impure foods. ||1||

Without the Naam, all occupations are useless,

Like decorations on a dead body. ||2||

One who forgets the Naam and indulges in pleasures,

shall find no peace, even in dreams; his body shall become diseased. ||3||

One who renounces the Naam and engages in other occupations,

shall see all of his false pretenses fall away. ||4||

One whose mind does not embrace love for the Naam

shall go to hell, even though he may perform millions of ceremonial rituals. ||5||

One whose mind does not contemplate the Name of the Lord

is bound like a thief, in the City of Death. ||6||

Hundreds of thousands of ostentatious shows and great expanses

- without the Naam, all these displays are false. ||7||

That humble being repeats the Name of the Lord,

O Nanak, whom the Lord blesses with His Mercy. ||8||10||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

My mind longs for that Friend,

Who shall stand by me in the beginning, in the middle and in the end. ||1||

The Lord's Love goes with us forever.

The Perfect and Merciful Lord cherishes all. ||1||Pause||

He shall never perish, and He shall never abandon me.

Wherever I look, there I see Him pervading and permeating. ||2||

He is Beautiful, All-knowing, the most Clever, the Giver of life.

God is my Brother, Son, Father and Mother. ||3||

He is the Support of the breath of life; He is my Wealth.

Abiding within my heart, He inspires me to enshrine love for Him. ||4||

The Lord of the World has cut away the noose of Maya.

He has made me His own, blessing me with His Glance of Grace. ||5||

Remembering, remembering Him in meditation, all diseases are healed.

Meditating on His Feet, all comforts are enjoyed. ||6||

The Perfect Primal Lord is Ever-fresh and Ever-young.

The Lord is with me, inwardly and outwardly, as my Protector. ||7||

Says Nanak, that devotee who realizes the state of the Lord, Har, Har,

is blessed with the treasure of the Naam. ||8||11||

Raag Gauree Maajh, Fifth Mehl:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

Countless are those who wander around searching for You, but they do not find Your limits.

They alone are Your devotees, who are blessed by Your Grace. ||1||

I am a sacrifice, I am a sacrifice to You. ||1||Pause||

Continually hearing of the terrifying path, I am so afraid.

I have sought the Protection of the Saints; please, save me! ||2||
