1Shower Your Mercy upon me, God; let me be committed to devotional worship. Nanak drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar of Truth. ||4||28||35||

2Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

3The Lord of the Universe, the Support of the earth, has become Merciful;

4the rain is falling everywhere.

5He is Merciful to the meek, always Kind and Gentle; the Creator has brought cooling relief. ||1||

6He cherishes all His beings and creatures,

7as the mother cares for her children.

8The Destroyer of pain, the Ocean of Peace, the Lord and Master gives sustenance to all. ||2||

9The Merciful Lord is totally pervading and permeating the water and the land.

10I am forever devoted, a sacrifice to Him.

11Night and day, I always meditate on Him; in an instant, He saves all. ||3||

12God Himself protects all;

13He drives out all sorrow and suffering.

14Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mind and body are rejuvenated. O Nanak, God has bestowed His Glance of Grace. ||4||29||36||

15Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

16Where the Naam, the Name of God the Beloved is chanted

17those barren places become mansions of gold.

18Where the Naam, the Name of my Lord of the Universe is not chanted-those towns are like the barren wilderness. ||1||

19One who meditates as he eats dry bread,

20sees the Blessed Lord inwardly and outwardly.

21Know this well, that one who eats and eats while practicing evil, is like a field of poisonous plants. ||2||

22One who does not feel love for the Saints,

23misbehaves in the company of the wicked shaaktas, the faithless cynics;

24he wastes this human body, so difficult to obtain. In his ignorance, he tears up his own roots. ||3||

25I seek Your Sanctuary, O my Lord, Merciful to the meek,

26Ocean of Peace, my Guru, Sustainer of the world.

27Shower Your Mercy upon Nanak, that he may sing Your Glorious Praises; please, preserve my honor. ||4||30||37||

28Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

29I cherish in my heart the Feet of my Lord and Master.

30All my troubles and sufferings have run away.

31The music of intuitive peace, poise and tranquility wells up within; I dwell in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||

32The bonds of love with the Lord are never broken.

33The Lord is totally permeating and pervading inside and out.

34Meditating, meditating, meditating in remembrance on Him, singing His Glorious Praises, the noose of death is cut away. ||2||

35The Ambrosial Nectar, the Unstruck Melody of Gurbani rains down continually;

36deep within my mind and body, peace and tranquility have come.

37Your humble servants remain satisfied and fulfilled, and the True Guru blesses them with encouragement and comfort. ||3||

38We are His, and from Him, we receive our rewards.

39Showering His Mercy upon us, God has united us with Him.

40Our comings and goings have ended, and through great good fortune, O Nanak, our hopes are fulfilled. ||4||31||38||

41Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

42The rain has fallen; I have found the Transcendent Lord God.

43All beings and creatures dwell in peace.

44Suffering has been dispelled, and true happiness has dawned, as we meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

45The One, to whom we belong, cherishes and nurtures us.

46The Supreme Lord God has become our Protector.

47My Lord and Master has heard my prayer; my efforts have been rewarded. ||2||
