100

1I applied the dust of the feet of the Saints to my face.

2My evil-mindedness disappeared, along with my misfortune and false-mindedness.

3I sit in the true home of my self; I sing His Glorious Praises. O Nanak, my falsehood has vanished! ||4||11||18||

4Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

5I shall never forget You-You are such a Great Giver!

6Please grant Your Grace, and imbue me with the love of devotional worship.

7If it pleases You, let me meditate on You day and night; please, grant me this gift! ||1||

8Into this blind clay, You have infused awareness.

9Everything, everywhere which You have given is good.

10Bliss, joyful celebrations, wondrous plays and entertainment-whatever pleases You, comes to pass. ||2||

11Everything we receive is a gift from Him

12-the thirty-six delicious foods to eat,

13cozy beds, cooling breezes, peaceful joy and the experience of pleasure. ||3||

14Give me that state of mind, by which I may not forget You.

15Give me that understanding, by which I may meditate on You.

16I sing Your Glorious Praises with each and every breath. Nanak takes the Support of the Guru's Feet. ||4||12||19||

17Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

18To praise You is to follow Your Command and Your Will.

19That which pleases You is spiritual wisdom and meditation.

20That which pleases God is chanting and meditation; to be in harmony with His Will is perfect spiritual wisdom. ||1||

21He alone sings Your Ambrosial Naam, who is pleasing to Your Mind, O my Lord and Master.

22You belong to the Saints, and the Saints belong to You. The minds of the Saints are attuned to You, O my Lord and Master. ||2||

23You cherish and nurture the Saints.

24The Saints play with You, O Sustainer of the World.

25Your Saints are very dear to You. You are the breath of life of the Saints. ||3||

26My mind is a sacrifice to those Saints who know You,

27and are pleasing to Your Mind.

28In their company I have found a lasting peace. Nanak is satisfied and fulfilled with the Sublime Essence of the Lord. ||4||13||20||

29Maajh, Fifth Mehla

30: You are the Ocean of Water, and I am Your fish.

31Your Name is the drop of water, and I am a thirsty rainbird.

32You are my hope, and You are my thirst. My mind is absorbed in You. ||1||

33Just as the baby is satisfied by drinking milk,

34and the poor person is pleased by seeing wealth,

35and the thirsty person is refreshed by drinking cool water, so is this mind drenched with delight in the Lord. ||2||

36Just as the darkness is lit up by the lamp,

37and the hopes of the wife are fulfilled by thinking about her husband,

38and people are filled with bliss upon meeting their beloved, so is my mind imbued with the Lord's Love. ||3||

39The Saints have set me upon the Lord's Path.

40By the Grace of the Holy Saint, I have been attuned to the Lord.

41The Lord is mine, and I am the slave of the Lord. O Nanak, the Guru has blessed me with the True Word of the Shabad. ||4||14||21||

42Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

43The Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, is eternally pure.

44The Lord is the Giver of Peace and the Dispeller of sorrow.

45I have seen and tasted all other flavors, but to my mind, the Subtle Essence of the Lord is the sweetest of all. ||1||
