1Pauree:

2You have no form or shape, no social class or race.

3These humans believe that You are far away; but You are quite obviously apparent.

4You enjoy Yourself in every heart, and no filth sticks to You.

5You are the blissful and infinite Primal Lord God; Your Light is all-pervading.

6Among all divine beings, You are the most divine, O Creator-architect, Rejuvenator of all.

7How can my single tongue worship and adore You? You are the eternal, imperishable, infinite Lord God.

8One whom You Yourself unite with the True Guru - all his generations are saved.

9All Your servants serve You; Nanak is a humble servant at Your Door. ||5||

10Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

11He builds a hut of straw, and the fool lights a fire in it.

12Only those who have such pre-ordained destiny on their foreheads, find Shelter with the Master. ||1||

13Fifth Mehla:

14O Nanak, he grinds the corn, cooks it and places it before himself.

15But without his True Guru, he sits and waits for his food to be blessed. ||2||

16Fifth Mehla:

17O Nanak, the loaves of bread are baked and placed on the plate.

18Those who obey their Guru, eat and are totally satisfied. ||3||

19Pauree:

20You have staged this play in the world, and infused egotism into all beings.

21In the one temple of the body are the five thieves, who continually misbehave.

22The ten brides, the sensory organs were created, and the one husband, the self; the ten are engrossed in flavors and tastes.

23This Maya fascinates and entices them; they wander continually in doubt.

24You created both sides, spirit and matter, Shiva and Shakti.

25Matter loses out to spirit; this is pleasing to the Lord.

26You enshrined spirit within, which leads to merger with the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation.

27Within the bubble, You formed the bubble, which shall once again merge into the water. ||6||

28Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

29Look ahead; don't turn your face backwards.

30O Nanak, be successful this time, and you shall not be reincarnated again. ||1||

31Fifth Mehla:

32My joyful friend is called the friend of all.

33All think of Him as their own; He never breaks anyone's heart. ||2||

34Fifth Mehla:

35The hidden jewel has been found; it has appeared on my forehead.

36Beautiful and exalted is that place, O Nanak, where You dwell, O my Dear Lord. ||3||

37Pauree:

38When You are on my side, Lord, what do I need to worry about?

39You entrusted everything to me, when I became Your slave.

40My wealth is inexhaustible, no matter how much I spend and consume.

41The 8.4 million species of beings all work to serve me.

42All these enemies have become my friends, and no one wishes me ill.

43No one calls me to account, since God is my forgiver.

44I have become blissful, and I have found peace, meeting with the Guru, the Lord of the Universe.

45All my affairs have been resolved, since You are pleased with me. ||7||

46Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

47I am so eager to see You, O Lord; what does Your face look like?

48I wandered around in such a miserable state, but when I saw You, my mind was comforted and consoled. ||1||
