Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

He does not let His devotees see the difficult times; this is His innate nature.

Giving His hand, He protects His devotee; with each and every breath, He cherishes him. ||1||

My consciousness remains attached to God.

In the beginning, and in the end, God is always my helper and companion; blessed is my friend. ||Pause||

My mind is delighted, gazing upon the marvellous, glorious greatness of the Lord and Master.

Remembering, remembering the Lord in meditation, Nanak is in ecstasy; God, in His perfection, has protected and preserved his honor. ||2||15||46||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

One who forgets the Lord of life, the Great Giver - know that he is most unfortunate.

One whose mind is in love with the Lord's lotus feet, obtains the pool of ambrosial nectar. ||1||

Your humble servant awakes in the Love of the Lord's Name.

All laziness has departed from his body, and his mind is attached to the Beloved Lord. ||Pause||

Wherever I look, the Lord is there; He is the string, upon which all hearts are strung.

Drinking in the water of the Naam, servant Nanak has renounced all other loves. ||2||16||47||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

All the affairs of the Lord's humble servant are perfectly resolved.

In the utterly poisonous Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Lord preserves and protects his honor. ||1||Pause||

Remembering, remembering God, his Lord and Master in meditation, the Messenger of Death does not approach him.

Liberation and heaven are found in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; his humble servant finds the home of the Lord. ||1||

The Lord's lotus feet are the treasure of His humble servant; in them, he finds millions of pleasures and comforts.

He remembers the Lord God in meditation, day and night; Nanak is forever a sacrifice to him. ||2||17||48||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

I beg for one gift only from the Lord.

May all my desires be fulfilled, meditating on, and remembering Your Name, O Lord. ||1||Pause||

May Your feet abide within my heart, and may I find the Society of the Saints.

May my mind not be afflicted by the fire of sorrow; may I sing Your Glorious Praises, twenty-four hours a day. ||1||

May I serve the Lord in my childhood and youth, and meditate on God in my middle and old age.

O Nanak, one who is imbued with the Love of the Transcendent Lord, is not reincarnated again to die. ||2||18||49||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

I beg only from the Lord for all things.

I would hesitate to beg from other people. Remembering God in meditation, liberation is obtained. ||1||Pause||

I have studied with the silent sages, and carefully read the Simritees, the Puraanas and the Vedas; they all proclaim that,

by serving the Lord, the ocean of mercy, Truth is obtained, and both this world and the next are embellished. ||1||

All other rituals and customs are useless, without remembering the Lord in meditation.

O Nanak, the fear of birth and death has been removed; meeting the Holy Saint, sorrow is dispelled. ||2||19||50||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

Desire is quenched, through the Lord's Name.

Great peace and contentment come through the Guru's Word, and one's meditation is perfectly focused upon God. ||1||Pause||
