1Wherever I join them, there they are joined; they do not struggle against me.

2I obtain the fruits of my desires; the Guru has directed me within.

3When Guru Nanak is pleased, O Siblings of Destiny, the Lord is seen to be dwelling near at hand. ||10||

4Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

5When You come into my consciousness, then I obtain all peace and comfort.

6Nanak: with Your Name within my mind, O my Husband Lord, I am filled with delight. ||1||

7Fifth Mehla:

8Enjoyment of clothes and corrupt pleasures - all these are nothing more than dust.

9I long for the dust of the feet of those who are imbued with the Lord's Vision. ||2||

10Fifth Mehla:

11Why do you look in other directions? O my heart, take the Support of the Lord alone.

12Become the dust of the feet of the Saints, and find the Lord, the Giver of peace. ||3||

13Pauree:

14Without good karma, the Dear Lord is not found; without the True Guru, the mind is not joined to Him.

15Only the Dharma remains stable in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga; these sinners will not last at all.

16Whatever one does with this hand, he obtains with the other hand, without a moment's delay.

17I have examined the four ages, and without the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, egotism does not depart.

18Egotism is never eradicated without the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

19As long as one's mind is torn away from his Lord and Master, he finds no place of rest.

20That humble being, who, as Gurmukh, serves the Lord, has the Support of the Imperishable Lord in the home of his heart.

21By the Lord's Grace, peace is obtained, and one is attached to the feet of the Guru, the True Guru. ||11||

22Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

23I have searched everywhere for the King over the heads of kings.

24That Master is within my heart; I chant His Name with my mouth. ||1||

25Fifth Mehla:

26O my mother, the Master has blessed me with the jewel.

27My heart is cooled and soothed, chanting the True Name with my mouth. ||2||

28Fifth Mehla:

29I have become the bed for my Beloved Husband Lord; my eyes have become the sheets.

30If You look at me, even for an instant, then I obtain peace beyond all price. ||3||

31Pauree:

32My mind longs to meet the Lord; how can I obtain the Blessed Vision of His Darshan?

33I obtain hundreds of thousands, if my Lord and Master speaks to me, even for an instant.

34I have searched in four directions; there is no other as great as You, Lord.

35Show me the Path, O Saints. How can I meet God?

36I dedicate my mind to Him, and renounce my ego. This is the Path which I shall take.

37Joining the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, I serve my Lord and Master continually.

38All my hopes are fulfilled; the Guru has ushered me into the Mansion of the Lord's Presence.

39I cannot conceive of any other as great as You, O my Friend, O Lord of the World. ||12||

40Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

41I have become the throne for my Beloved Lord King.

42If You place Your foot on me, I blossom forth like the lotus flower. ||1||

43Fifth Mehla:

44If my Beloved becomes hungry, I will become food, and place myself before Him.

45I may be crushed, again and again, but like sugarcane, I do not stop yielding sweet juice. ||2||

46Fifth Mehla:

47Break off your love with the cheaters; realize that it is a mirage.

48Your pleasure lasts for only two moments; this traveller wanders through countless homes. ||3||

49Pauree:

50God is not found by intellectual devices; He is unknowable and unseen.
