1all his affairs are resolved.

2The One Lord is his Protector.

3O servant Nanak, no one can equal him. ||4||4||17||

4Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

5We should feel sad, if God were beyond us.

6We should feel sad, if we forget the Lord.

7We should feel sad, if we are in love with duality.

8But why should we feel sad? The Lord is pervading everywhere. ||1||

9In love and attachment to Maya, the mortals are sad, and are consumed by sadness.

10Without the Name, they wander and wander and wander, and waste away. ||1||Pause||

11We should feel sad, if there were another Creator Lord.

12We should feel sad, if someone dies by injustice.

13We should feel sad, if something were not known to the Lord.

14But why should we feel sad? The Lord is totally permeating everywhere. ||2||

15We should feel sad, if God were a tyrant.

16We should feel sad, if He made us suffer by mistake.

17The Guru says that whatever happens is all by God's Will.

18So I have abandoned sadness, and I now sleep without anxiety. ||3||

19O God, You alone are my Lord and Master; all belong to You.

20According to Your Will, You pass judgement.

21There is no other at all; the One Lord is permeating and pervading everywhere.

22Please save Nanak's honor; I have come to Your Sanctuary. ||4||5||18||

23Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

24Without music, how is one to dance?

25Without a voice, how is one to sing?

26Without strings, how is a guitar to be played?

27Without the Naam, all affairs are useless. ||1||

28Without the Naam - tell me: who has ever been saved?

29Without the True Guru, how can anyone cross over to the other side? ||1||Pause||

30Without a tongue, how can anyone speak?

31Without ears, how can anyone hear?

32Without eyes, how can anyone see?

33Without the Naam, the mortal is of no account at all. ||2||

34Without learning, how can one be a Pandit - a religious scholar?

35Without power, what is the glory of an empire?

36Without understanding, how can the mind become steady?

37Without the Naam, the whole world is insane. ||3||

38Without detachment, how can one be a detached hermit?

39Without renouncing egotism, how can anyone be a renunciate?

40Without overcoming the five thieves, how can the mind be subdued?

41Without the Naam, the mortal regrets and repents forever and ever. ||4||

42Without the Guru's Teachings, how can anyone obtain spiritual wisdom?

43Without seeing - tell me: how can anyone visualize in meditation?

44Without the Fear of God, all speech in useless.

45Says Nanak, this is the wisdom of the Lord's Court. ||5||6||19||

46Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

47Mankind is afflicted with the disease of egotism.

48The disease of sexual desire overwhelms the elephant.

49Because of the disease of vision, the moth is burnt to death.

50Because of the disease of the sound of the bell, the deer is lured to its death. ||1||

51Whoever I see is diseased.

52Only my True Guru, the True Yogi, is free of disease. ||1||Pause||

53Because of the disease of taste, the fish is caught.

54Because of the disease of smell, the bumble bee is destroyed.

55The whole world is caught in the disease of attachment.

56In the disease of the three qualities, corruption is multiplied. ||2||

57In disease the mortals die, and in disease they are born.

58In disease they wander in reincarnation again and again.
