The mind is engrossed in sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment.

Breaking my bonds, the Guru has liberated me. ||2||

Experiencing pain and pleasure, one is born, only to die again.

The Lotus Feet of the Guru bring peace and shelter. ||3||

The world is drowning in the ocean of fire.

O Nanak, holding me by the arm, the True Guru has saved me. ||4||3||8||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Body, mind, wealth and everything, I surrender to my Lord.

What is that wisdom, by which I may come to chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har? ||1||

Nurturing hope, I have come to beg from God.

Gazing upon You, the courtyard of my heart is embellished. ||1||Pause||

Trying several methods, I reflect deeply upon the Lord.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, this mind is saved. ||2||

I have neither intelligence, wisdom, common sense nor cleverness.

I meet You, only if You lead me to meet You. ||3||

My eyes are content, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan.

Says Nanak, such a life is fruitful and rewarding. ||4||4||9||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Mother, father, children and the wealth of Maya, will not go along with you.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, all pain is dispelled. ||1||

God Himself is pervading, and permeating all.

Chant the Name of the Lord with your tongue, and pain will not afflict you. ||1||Pause||

One who is afflicted by the terrible fire of thirst and desire,

becomes cool, chanting the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2||

By millions of efforts, peace is not obtained;

the mind is satisfied only by singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

Please bless me with devotion, O God, O Searcher of hearts.

This is Nanak's prayer, O Lord and Master. ||4||5||10||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

By great good fortune, the Perfect Guru is found.

Meeting with the Holy Saints, meditate on the Name of the Lord. ||1||

O Supreme Lord God, I seek Your Sanctuary.

Meditating on the Guru's Feet, sinful mistakes are erased. ||1||Pause||

All other rituals are just worldly affairs;

joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, one is saved. ||2||

One may contemplate the Simritees, Shaastras and Vedas,

but only by chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is one saved and carried across. ||3||

Have Mercy upon servant Nanak, O God,

and bless him with the dust of the feet of the Holy, that he may be emancipated. ||4||6||11||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

I contemplate the Word of the Guru's Shabad within my heart;

all my hopes and desires are fulfilled. ||1||

The faces of the humble Saints are radiant and bright;

the Lord has mercifully blessed them with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

Holding them by the hand, He has lifted them up out of the deep, dark pit,

and their victory is celebrated throughout the world. ||2||

He elevates and exalts the lowly, and fills the empty.

They receive the supreme, sublime essence of the Ambrosial Naam. ||3||

The mind and body are made immaculate and pure, and sins are burnt to ashes.

Says Nanak, God is pleased with me. ||4||7||12||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

All desires are fulfilled, O my friend,
