1You are eternal and unchanging, imperishable, invisible and infinite, O divine fascinating Lord.

2Please bless Nanak with the gift of the Society of the Saints, and the dust of the feet of Your slaves. ||4||6||22||

3Maaroo, Fifth Mehla:

4The Saints are fulfilled and satisfied;

5they know the Guru's Mantra and the Teachings.

6They cannot even be described;

7they are blessed with the glorious greatness of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

8My Beloved is a priceless jewel.

9His Name is unattainable and immeasurable. ||1||Pause||

10One whose mind is satisfied believing in the imperishable Lord God,

11becomes Gurmukh and attains the essence of spiritual wisdom.

12He sees all in his meditation.

13He banishes egotistical pride from his mind. ||2||

14Permanent is the place of those

15who, through the Guru, realize the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

16Meeting the Guru, they remain awake and aware night and day;

17they are committed to the Lord's service. ||3||

18They are perfectly fulfilled and satisfied,

19intuitively absorbed in Samaadhi.

20The Lord's treasure comes into their hands;

21O Nanak, through the Guru, they attain it. ||4||7||23||

22Maaroo, Fifth Mehla, Sixth House, Dho-Padhay:

23One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

24Abandon all your clever tricks; meet with the Holy, and renounce your egotistical pride.

25Everything else is false; with your tongue, chant the Name of the Lord, Raam, Raam. ||1||

26O my mind, with your ears, listen to the Name of the Lord.

27The sins of your many past lifetimes shall be washed away; then, what can the wretched Messenger of Death do to you? ||1||Pause||

28Pain, poverty and fear shall not afflict you, and you shall find peace and pleasure.

29By Guru's Grace, Nanak speaks; meditation on the Lord is the essence of spiritual wisdom. ||2||1||24||

30Maaroo, Fifth Mehla:

31Those who have forgotten the Naam, the Name of the Lord - I have seen them reduced to dust.

32The love of children and friends, and the pleasures of married life are torn apart. ||1||

33O my mind, continually, continuously chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

34You shall not burn in the ocean of fire, and your mind and body shall be blessed with peace. ||1||Pause||

35Like the shade of a tree, these things shall pass away, like the clouds blown away by the wind.

36Meeting with the Holy, devotional worship to the Lord is implanted within; O Nanak, only this shall work for you. ||2||2||25||

37Maaroo, Fifth Mehla:

38The perfect, primal Lord is the Giver of peace; He is always with you.

39He does not die, and he does not come or go in reincarnation. He does not perish, and He is not affected by heat or cold. ||1||

40O my mind, be in love with the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

41Within the mind, think of the Lord, Har, Har, the treasure. This is the purest way of life. ||1||Pause||

42Whoever meditates on the merciful compassionate Lord, the Lord of the Universe, is successful.

43He is always new, fresh and young, clever and beautiful; Nanak's mind is pierced through with His Love. ||2||3||26||

44Maaroo, Fifth Mehla:

45While walking and sitting, sleeping and waking, contemplate within your heart the GurMantra.

46Run to the Lord's lotus feet, and join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. Cross over the terrifying world-ocean, and reach the other side. ||1||
