1Maaroo, Fifth Mehla:

2The One Lord alone is our help and support; neither physician nor friend, nor sister nor brother can be this. ||1||

3His actions alone come to pass; He washes off the filth of sins. Meditate in remembrance on that Supreme Lord. ||2||

4He abides in each and every heart, and dwells in all; His seat and place are eternal. ||3||

5He does not come or go, and He is always with us. His actions are perfect. ||4||

6He is the Savior and the Protector of His devotees.

7The Saints live by meditating on God, the support of the breath of life.

8The Almighty Lord and Master is the Cause of causes; Nanak is a sacrifice to Him. ||5||2||32||

9One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

10Maaroo, Ninth Mehla:

11The Name of the Lord is forever the Giver of peace.

12Meditating in remembrance on it, Ajaamal was saved, and Ganika the prostitute was emancipated. ||1||Pause||

13Dropadi the princess of Panchaala remembered the Lord's Name in the royal court.

14The Lord, the embodiment of mercy, removed her suffering; thus His own glory was increased. ||1||

15That man, who sings the Praise of the Lord, the treasure of mercy, has the help and support of the Lord.

16Says Nanak, I have come to rely on this. I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord. ||2||1||

17Maaroo, Ninth Mehla:

18What should I do now, O mother?

19I have wasted my whole life in sin and corruption; I never remembered the Lord. ||1||Pause||

20When Death places the noose around my neck, then I lose all my senses.

21Now, in this disaster, other than the Name of the Lord, who will be my help and support? ||1||

22That wealth, which he believes to be his own, in an instant, belongs to another.

23Says Nanak, this still really bothers my mind - I never sang the Praises of the Lord. ||2||2||

24Maaroo, Ninth Mehla:

25O my mother, I have not renounced the pride of my mind.

26I have wasted my life intoxicated with Maya; I have not focused myself in meditation on the Lord. ||1||Pause||

27When Death's club falls on my head, then I will be wakened from my sleep.

28But what good will it do to repent at that time? I cannot escape by running away. ||1||

29When this anxiety arises in the heart, then, one comes to love the Guru's feet.

30My life becomes fruitful, O Nanak, only when I am absorbed in the Praises of God. ||2||3||

31Maaroo, Ashtpadheeyaa, First Mehla, First House:

32One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

33Reciting and listening to the Vedas and the Puraanas, countless wise men have grown weary.

34So many in their various religious robes have grown weary, wandering to the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

35The True Lord and Master is immaculate and pure. The mind is satisfied only by the One Lord. ||1||

36You are eternal; You do not grow old. All others pass away.

37One who lovingly focuses on the Naam, the source of nectar - his pains are taken away. ||1||Pause||
