1You fool, you have forgotten the Lord from your mind!

2You eat His salt, and then you are untrue to Him; before your very eyes, you shall be torn apart. ||1||Pause||

3The incurable disease has arisen in your body; it cannot be removed or overcome.

4Forgetting God, one endures utter agony; this is the essence of reality which Nanak has realized. ||2||8||

5Maaroo, Fifth Mehla:

6I have enshrined the lotus feet of God within my consciousness.

7I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, continually, continuously.

8There is none other than Him at all.

9He alone exists, in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end. ||1||

10He Himself is the Shelter of the Saints. ||1||Pause||

11The entire universe is under His control.

12He Himself, the Formless Lord, is Himself by Himself.

13Nanak holds tight to that True Lord.

14He has found peace, and shall never suffer pain again. ||2||9||

15Maaroo, Fifth Mehla, Third House:

16One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

17He is the Giver of peace to the breath of life, the Giver of life to the soul; how can you forget Him, you ignorant person?

18You taste the weak, insipid wine, and you have gone insane. You have uselessly wasted this precious human life. ||1||

19O man, such is the foolishness you practice.

20Renouncing the Lord, the Support of the earth, you wander, deluded by doubt; you are engrossed in emotional attachment, associating with Maya, the slave-girl. ||1||Pause||

21Abandoning the Lord, the Support of the earth, you serve her of lowly ancestry, and you pass you life acting egotistically.

22You do useless deeds, you ignorant person; this is why you are called a blind, self-willed manmukh. ||2||

23That which is true, you believe to be untrue; what is transitory, you believe to be permanent.

24You grasp as your own, what belongs to others; in such delusions you are deluded. ||3||

25The Kh'shaatriyas, Brahmins, Soodras and Vaishyas all cross over, through the Name of the One Lord.

26Guru Nanak speaks the Teachings; whoever listens to them is carried across. ||4||1||10||

27Maaroo, Fifth Mehla:

28You may act in secrecy, but God is still with you; you can only deceive other people.

29Forgetting your Dear Lord, you enjoy corrupt pleasures, and so you shall have to embrace red-hot pillars. ||1||

30O man, why do you go out to the households of others?

31You filthy, heartless, lustful donkey! Haven't you heard of the Righteous Judge of Dharma? ||1||Pause||

32The stone of corruption is tied around your neck, and the load of slander is on your head.

33You must cross over the vast open ocean, but you cannot cross over to the other side. ||2||

34You are engrossed in sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment; you have turned your eyes away from the Truth.

35You cannot even raise your head above the water of the vast, impassable sea of Maya. ||3||

36The sun is liberated, and the moon is liberated; the God-realized being is pure and untouched.

37His inner nature is like that of fire, untouched and forever immaculate. ||4||

38When good karma dawns, the wall of doubt is torn down. He lovingly accepts the Guru's Will.
