1I place my pain and pleasure before Him.

2He covers the faults of His humble servant.

3Nanak sings His Praises. ||4||19||32||

4Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

5The whiner whines every day.

6His attachment to his household and entanglements cloud his mind.

7If someone becomes detached through understanding,

8he will not have to suffer in birth and death again. ||1||

9All of his conflicts are extensions of his corruption.

10How rare is that person who takes the Naam as his Support. ||1||Pause||

11The three-phased Maya infects all.

12Whoever clings to it suffers pain and sorrow.

13There is no peace without meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

14By great good fortune, the treasure of the Naam is received. ||2||

15One who loves the actor in his mind,

16later regrets it when the actor takes off his costume.

17The shade from a cloud is transitory,

18like the worldly paraphernalia of attachment and corruption. ||3||

19If someone is blessed with the singular substance,

20then all of his tasks are accomplished to perfection.

21One who obtains the Naam, by Guru's Grace

22- O Nanak, his coming into the world is certified and approved. ||4||20||33||

23Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

24Slandering the Saints, the mortal wanders in reincarnation.

25Slandering the Saints, he is diseased.

26Slandering the Saints, he suffers in pain.

27The slanderer is punished by the Messenger of Death. ||1||

28Those who argue and fight with the Saints

29- those slanderers find no happiness at all. ||1||Pause||

30Slandering the devotees, the wall of the mortal's body is shattered.

31Slandering the devotees, he suffers in hell.

32Slandering the devotees, he rots in the womb.

33Slandering the devotees, he loses his realm and power. ||2||

34The slanderer finds no salvation at all.

35He eats only that which he himself has planted.

36He is worse than a thief, a lecher, or a gambler.

37The slanderer places an unbearable burden upon his head. ||3||

38The devotees of the Supreme Lord God are beyond hate and vengeance.

39Whoever worships their feet is emancipated.

40The Primal Lord God has deluded and confused the slanderer.

41O Nanak, the record of one's past actions cannot be erased. ||4||21||34||

42Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

43The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is for me the Vedas and the Sound-current of the Naad.

44Through the Naam, my tasks are perfectly accomplished.

45The Naam is my worship of deities.

46The Naam is my service to the Guru. ||1||

47The Perfect Guru has implanted the Naam within me.

48The highest task of all is the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

49The Naam is my cleansing bath and purification.

50The Naam is my perfect donation of charity.

51Those who repeat the Naam are totally purified.

52Those who chant the Naam are my friends and Siblings of Destiny. ||2||

53The Naam is my auspicious omen and good fortune.

54The Naam is the sublime food which satisfies me.

55The Naam is my good conduct.

56The Naam is my immaculate occupation. ||3||

57All those humble beings whose minds are filled with the One God

58have the Support of the Lord, Har, Har.

59O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord with your mind and body.

60In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the Lord bestows His Name. ||4||22||35||
