1One who serves in egotism is not accepted or approved.

2Such a person is born, only to die again, and come and go in reincarnation.

3Perfect is that penance and that service, which is pleasing to the Mind of my Lord. ||11||

4What Glorious Virtues of Yours should I chant, O my Lord and Master?

5You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of all souls.

6I beg for blessings from You, O Creator Lord; I repeat Your Name night and day. ||12||

7Some speak in egotistical power.

8Some have the power of authority and Maya.

9I have no other Support at all, except the Lord. O Creator Lord, please save me, meek and dishonored. ||13||

10You bless the meek and dishonored with honor, as it pleases You, O Lord.

11Many others argue in conflict, coming and going in reincarnation.

12Those people, whose side You take, O Lord and Master, are elevated and successful. ||14||

13Those who meditate forever on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har,

14by Guru's Grace, obtain the supreme status.

15Those who serve the Lord find peace; without serving Him, they regret and repent. ||15||

16You are pervading all, O Lord of the world.

17He alone meditates on the Lord, upon whose forehead the Guru places His hand.

18Entering the Sanctuary of the Lord, I meditate on the Lord; servant Nanak is the slave of His slaves. ||16||2||

19Maaroo, Solahas, Fifth Mehla:

20One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

21He infused His power into the earth.

22He suspends the heavens upon the feet of His Command.

23He created fire and locked it into wood. That God protects all, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||

24He gives nourishment to all beings and creatures.

25He Himself is the all-powerful Creator, the Cause of causes.

26In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; He is your help and support. ||2||

27He cherished you in your mother's womb.

28With every breath and morsel of food, He is with you, and takes care of you.

29Forever and ever, meditate on that Beloved; Great is His glorious greatness! ||3||

30The sultans and nobles are reduced to dust in an instant.

31God cherishes the poor, and makes them into rulers.

32He is the Destroyer of egotistical pride, the Support of all. His value cannot be estimated. ||4||

33He alone is honorable, and he alone is wealthy,

34within whose mind the Lord God abides.

35He alone is my mother, father, child, relative and sibling, who created this Universe. ||5||

36I have come to God's Sanctuary, and so I fear nothing.

37In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I am sure to be saved.

38One who adores the Creator in thought, word and deed, shall never be punished. ||6||

39One whose mind and body are permeated with the Lord, the treasure of virtue,

40does not wander in birth, death and reincarnation.

41Pain vanishes and peace prevails, when one is satisfied and fulfilled. ||7||

42My Lord and Master is my best friend.
