1So many gods yearn for the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

2All the devotees serve Him.

3He is the Master of the masterless, the Destroyer of the pains of the poor. His Name is obtained from the Perfect Guru. ||3||

4I cannot conceive of any other door.

5One who wanders through the three worlds, understands nothing.

6The True Guru is the banker, with the treasure of the Naam. This jewel is obtained from Him. ||4||

7The dust of His feet purifies.

8Even the angelic beings and gods cannot obtain it, O friend.

9The True Guru is the True Primal Being, the Transcendent Lord God; meeting with Him, one is carried across to the other side. ||5||

10O my beloved mind, if you wish for the 'tree of life';

11if you wish for Kaamadhayna, the wish-fulfilling cow to adorn your court;

12if you wish to be satisfied and contented, then serve the Perfect Guru, and practice the Naam, the source of nectar. ||6||

13Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the five thieves of desire are conquered.

14In the Fear of the Supreme Lord God, you shall become immaculate and pure.

15When one meets the Perfect Guru, the Philosopher's Stone, His touch reveals the Lord, the Philosopher's Stone. ||7||

16Myriads of heavens do not equal the Lord's Name.

17The spiritually wise forsake mere liberation.

18The One Universal Creator Lord is found through the True Guru. I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan. ||8||

19No one knows how to serve the Guru.

20The Guru is the unfathomable, Supreme Lord God.

21He alone is the Guru's servant, whom the Guru Himself links to His service, and upon whose forehead such blessed destiny is inscribed. ||9||

22Even the Vedas do not know the Guru's Glory.

23They narrate only a tiny bit of what is heard.

24The True Guru is the Supreme Lord God, the Incomparable One; meditating in remembrance on Him, the mind is cooled and soothed. ||10||

25Hearing of Him, the mind comes to life.

26When He dwells within the heart, one becomes peaceful and cool.

27Chanting the Guru's Name with the mouth, one obtains glory, and does not have to walk on the Path of Death. ||11||

28I have entered the Sanctuary of the Saints,

29and placed before them my soul, my breath of life and wealth.

30I know nothing about service and awareness; please take pity upon this worm. ||12||

31I am unworthy; please merge me into Yourself.

32Please bless me with Your Grace, and link me to Your service.

33I wave the fan, and grind the corn for the Saints; washing their feet, I find peace. ||13||

34After wandering around at so many doors, I have come to Yours, O Lord.

35By Your Grace, I have entered Your Sanctuary.

36Forever and ever, keep me in the Company of the Saints; please bless me with this Gift of Your Name. ||14||

37My World-Lord has become merciful,

38and I have obtained the Blessed Vision of the Darshan of the Perfect True Guru.

39I have found eternal peace, poise and bliss; Nanak is the slave of Your slaves. ||15||2||7||

40Maaroo, Solahas, Fifth Mehla:

41One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

42The earth and the Akaashic ethers meditate in remembrance.

43The moon and the sun meditate in remembrance on You, O treasure of virtue.

44Air, water and fire meditate in remembrance. All creation meditates in remembrance. ||1||
