1095

1You established the four ages; You are the Creator of all worlds.

2You created the comings and goings of reincarnation; not even a particle of filth sticks to You.

3As you are merciful, You attach us to the Feet of the True Guru.

4You cannot be found by any other efforts; You are the eternal, imperishable Creator of the Universe. ||2||

5Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

6If You come into my courtyard, all the earth becomes beautiful.

7Other than the One Lord, my Husband, no one else cares for me. ||1||

8Fifth Mehla:

9All my adornments become beautiful, when You, O Lord, sit in my courtyard and make it Yours.

10Then no traveller who comes to my home shall leave empty-handed. ||2||

11Fifth Mehla:

12I have spread out my bed for You, O my Husband Lord, and applied all my decorations.

13But even this is not pleasing to me, to wear a garland around my neck. ||3||

14Pauree:

15O Supreme Lord God, O Transcendent Lord, You do not take birth.

16By the Hukam of Your Command, You formed the Universe; forming it, You merge into it.

17Your Form cannot be known; how can one meditate on You?

18You are pervading and permeating all; You Yourself reveal Your creative potency.

19Your treasures of devotional worship are overflowing; they never decrease.

20These gems, jewels and diamonds - their value cannot be estimated.

21As You Yourself become merciful, Lord, You link us to the service of the True Guru.

22One who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, never suffers any deficiency. ||3||

23Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

24When I look within my being, I find that my Beloved is with me.

25All pains are relieved, O Nanak, when He bestows His Glance of Grace. ||1||

26Fifth Mehla:

27Nanak sits, waiting for news of the Lord, and stands at the Lord's Door; serving Him for so long.

28O my Beloved, only You know my objective; I stand, waiting to see the Lord's face. ||2||

29Fifth Mehla:

30What should I say to you, you fool? Don't look at the vines of others - be a true husband.

31O Nanak, the entire world is blooming, like a garden of flowers. ||3||

32Pauree:

33You are Wise, all-knowing and beautiful; You are pervading and permeating all.

34You Yourself are the Lord and Master, and the servant; You worship and adore Yourself.

35You are all-wise and all-seeing; You Yourself are true and pure.

36The Immaculate Lord, my Lord God, is celibate and True.

37God spreads out the expanse of the entire universe, and He Himself plays in it.

38He created this coming and going of reincarnation; creating the wondrous play, He gazes upon it.

39One who is blessed with the Guru's Teachings, is not consigned to the womb of reincarnation, ever again.

40All walk as He makes them walk; nothing is under the control of the created beings. ||4||

41Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

42You are walking along the river-bank, but the land is giving way beneath you.

43Watch out! Your foot might slip, and you'll fall in and die. ||1||

44Fifth Mehla:

45You believe what is false and temporary to be true, and so you run on and on.

46O Nanak, like butter in the fire, it shall melt away; it shall fade away like the water-lily. ||2||

47Fifth Mehla:

48O my foolish and silly soul, why are you too lazy to serve?

49Such a long time has passed. When will this opportunity come again? ||3||
