1The One Lord is totally pervading and permeating all.

2He alone meditates on the Lord, whose True Guru is Perfect.

3Such a person has the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises for his Support.

4Says Nanak, the Lord Himself is merciful to him. ||4||13||26||

5Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

6I was discarded and abandoned, but He has embellished me.

7He has blessed me with beauty and His Love; through His Name, I am exalted.

8All my pains and sorrows have been eradicated.

9The Guru has become my Mother and Father. ||1||

10O my friends and companions, my household is in bliss.

11Granting His Grace, my Husband Lord has met me. ||1||Pause||

12The fire of desire has been extinguished, and all my desires have been fulfilled.

13The darkness has been dispelled, and the Divine Light blazes forth.

14The Unstruck Sound-current of the Shabad, the Word of God, is wondrous and amazing!

15Perfect is the Grace of the Perfect Guru. ||2||

16That person, unto whom the Lord reveals Himself

17by the Blessed Vision of his Darshan, I am forever enraptured.

18He obtains all virtues and so many treasures.

19The True Guru blesses him with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

20That person who meets with his Lord and Master

21his mind and body are cooled and soothed, chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

22Says Nanak, such a humble being is pleasing to God;

23only a rare few are blessed with the dust of his feet. ||4||14||27||

24Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

25The mortal does not hesitate to think about sin.

26He is not ashamed to spend time with prostitutes.

27He works all day long,

28but when it is time to remember the Lord, then a heavy stone falls on his head. ||1||

29Attached to Maya, the world is deluded and confused.

30The Deluder Himself has deluded the mortal, and now he is engrossed in worthless worldly affairs. ||1||Pause||

31Gazing on Maya's illusion, its pleasures pass away.

32He loves the shell, and ruins his life.

33Bound to blind worldly affairs, his mind wavers and wanders.

34The Creator Lord does not come into his mind. ||2||

35Working and working like this, he only obtains pain,

36and his affairs of Maya are never completed.

37His mind is saturated with sexual desire, anger and greed.

38Wiggling like a fish out of water, he dies. ||3||

39One who has the Lord Himself as his Protector,

40chants and meditates forever on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

41In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

42O Nanak, he has found the Perfect True Guru. ||4||15||28||

43Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

44He alone obtains it, unto whom the Lord shows Mercy.

45He enshrines the Name of the Lord in his mind.

46With the True Word of the Shabad in his heart and mind,

47the sins of countless incarnations vanish. ||1||

48The Lord's Name is the Support of the soul.

49By Guru's Grace, chant the Name continually, O Siblings of Destiny; It shall carry you across the world-ocean. ||1||Pause||

50Those who have this treasure of the Lord's Name written in their destiny,

51those humble beings are honored in the Court of the Lord.

52Singing His Glorious Praises with peace, poise and bliss,

53even the homeless obtain a home hereafter. ||2||

54Throughout the ages, this has been the essence of reality.

55Meditate in remembrance on the Lord, and contemplate the Truth.
