The Knower knows everything; He understands and contemplates.

By His creative power, He assumes numerous forms in an instant.

One whom the Lord attaches to the Truth is redeemed.

One who has God on his side is never conquered.

His Court is eternal and imperishable; I humbly bow to Him. ||4||

One who has been instructed by the Guru is liberated in this world.

He avoids disaster, and his anxiety is dispelled.

Beholding the blessed vision of his Darshan, the world is over-joyed.

In the company of the Lord's humble servants, the world is over-joyed, and the filth of sin is washed away.

There, they meditate on the Ambrosial Nectar of the True Name.

The mind becomes content, and its hunger is satisfied.

When your soul is feeling sad, offer your prayers to the Guru.

Renounce all your cleverness, and dedicate your mind and body to Him.

Worship the Feet of the Guru, and your evil-mindedness shall be burnt away.

Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you shall cross over the terrifying and difficult world-ocean.

Serve the True Guru, and in the world hereafter, you shall not die of fear.

In an instant, he shall make you happy, and the empty vessel shall be filled to overflowing.

The mind becomes content, meditating forever on the Lord.

He alone dedicates himself to the Guru's service, unto whom the Lord has granted His Grace. ||6||

I am attached to the right place; the Uniter has united me.

O Nanak, there are hundreds and thousands of waves, but my Husband Lord does not let me drown. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

In the dreadful wilderness, I have found the one and only companion; the Name of the Lord is the Destroyer of distress.

I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Beloved Saints, O Nanak; through them, my affairs have been brought to fulfillment. ||2||

Pauree:

All treasures are obtained, when we are attuned to Your Love.

One does not have to suffer regret and repentance, when he meditates on You.

No one can equal Your humble servant, who has Your Support.

Waaho! Waaho! How wonderful is the Perfect Guru! Cherishing Him in my mind, I obtain peace.

The treasure of the Lord's Praise comes from the Guru; by His Mercy, it is obtained.

When the True Guru bestows His Glance of Grace, one does not wander any more.

The Merciful Lord preserves him - He makes him His own slave.

Listening, hearing the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har, I live. ||7||
