lovingly centering your consciousness on the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||1||

I am a sacrifice to those who meditate on God.

The fire of desire is quenched, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

One's life become fruitful and rewarding, by great good fortune.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, enshrine love for the Lord. ||2||

Wisdom, honor, wealth, peace and celestial bliss are attained,

If one does not forget the Lord of supreme bliss, even for an instant. ||3||

My mind is so very thirsty for the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan.

Prays Nanak, O God, I seek Your Sanctuary. ||4||8||13||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

I am worthless, totally lacking all virtues.

Bless me with Your Mercy, and make me Your Own. ||1||

My mind and body are embellished by the Lord, the Lord of the World.

Granting His Mercy, God has come into the home of my heart. ||1||Pause||

He is the Lover and Protector of His devotees, the Destroyer of fear.

Now, I have been carried across the world-ocean. ||2||

It is God's Way to purify sinners, say the Vedas.

I have seen the Supreme Lord with my eyes. ||3||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the Lord becomes manifest.

O slave Nanak, all pains are relieved. ||4||9||14||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Who can know the value of serving You, God?

God is imperishable, invisible and incomprehensible. ||1||

His Glorious Virtues are infinite; God is profound and unfathomable.

The Mansion of God, my Lord and Master, is lofty and high.

You are unlimited, O my Lord and Master. ||1||Pause||

There is no other than the One Lord.

You alone know Your worship and adoration. ||2||

No one can do anything by himself, O Siblings of Destiny.

He alone obtains the Naam, the Name of the Lord, unto whom God bestows it. ||3||

Says Nanak, that humble being who pleases God,

he alone finds God, the treasure of virtue. ||4||10||15||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Extending His Hand, the Lord protected you in your mother's womb.

Renouncing the sublime essence of the Lord, you have tasted the fruit of poison. ||1||

Meditate, vibrate on the Lord of the Universe, and renounce all entanglements.

When the Messenger of Death comes to murder you, O fool, then your body will be shattered and helplessly crumble. ||1||Pause||

You hold onto your body, mind and wealth as your own,

and you do not meditate on the Creator Lord, even for an instant. ||2||

You have fallen into the deep, dark pit of great attachment.

Caught in the illusion of Maya, you have forgotten the Supreme Lord. ||3||

By great good fortune, one sings the Kirtan of God's Praises.

In the Society of the Saints, Nanak has found God. ||4||11||16||

Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:

Mother, father, children, relatives and siblings

- O Nanak, the Supreme Lord is our help and support. ||1||

He blesses us with peace, and abundant celestial bliss.

Perfect is the Bani, the Word of the Perfect Guru. His Virtues are so many, they cannot be counted. ||1||Pause||

God Himself makes all arrangements.

Meditating on God, desires are fulfilled. ||2||

He is the Giver of wealth, Dharmic faith, pleasure and liberation.
