1Please shower Nanak with Your Mercy and bless him with peace. ||4||25||38||

2Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

3With Your Support, I survive in the Dark Age of Kali Yuga.

4With Your Support, I sing Your Glorious Praises.

5With Your Support, death cannot even touch me.

6With Your Support, my entanglements vanish. ||1||

7In this world and the next, I have Your Support.

8The One Lord, our Lord and Master, is all-pervading. ||1||Pause||

9With Your Support, I celebrate blissfully.

10With Your Support, I chant the Guru's Mantra.

11With Your Support, I cross over the terrifying world-ocean.

12The Perfect Lord, our Protector and Savior, is the Ocean of Peace. ||2||

13With Your Support, I have no fear.

14The True Lord is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

15With Your Support, my mind is filled with Your Power.

16Here and there, You are my Court of Appeal. ||3||

17I take Your Support, and place my faith in You.

18All meditate on God, the Treasure of Virtue.

19Chanting and meditating on You, Your slaves celebrate in bliss.

20Nanak meditates in remembrance on the True Lord, the Treasure of Virtue. ||4||26||39||

21Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

22First, I gave up slandering others.

23All the anxiety of my mind was dispelled.

24Greed and attachment were totally banished.

25I see God ever-present, close at hand; I have become a great devotee. ||1||

26Such a renunciate is very rare.

27Such a humble servant chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

28I have forsaken my egotistical intellect.

29The love of sexual desire and anger has vanished.

30I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

31In the Company of the Holy, I am emancipated. ||2||

32Enemy and friend are all the same to me.

33The Perfect Lord God is permeating all.

34Accepting the Will of God, I have found peace.

35The Perfect Guru has implanted the Name of the Lord within me. ||3||

36That person, whom the Lord, in His Mercy, saves

37that devotee chants and meditates on the Naam.

38That person, whose mind is illumined, and who obtains understanding through the Guru

39- says Nanak, he is totally fulfilled. ||4||27||40||

40Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

41There is no peace in earning lots of money.

42There is no peace in watching dances and plays.

43There is no peace in conquering lots of countries.

44All peace comes from singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

45You shall obtain peace, poise and bliss,

46when you find the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, by great good fortune. As Gurmukh, utter the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

47Mother, father, children and spouse - all place the mortal in bondage.

48Religious rituals and actions done in ego place the mortal in bondage.

49If the Lord, the Shatterer of bonds, abides in the mind,

50then peace is obtained, dwelling in the home of the self deep within. ||2||

51Everyone is a beggar; God is the Great Giver.

52The Treasure of Virtue is the Infinite, Endless Lord.

53That person, unto whom God grants His Mercy

54- that humble being chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

55I offer my prayer to my Guru.

56O Primal Lord God, Treasure of Virtue, please bless me with Your Grace.

57Says Nanak, I have come to Your Sanctuary.

58If it pleases You, please protect me, O Lord of the World. ||4||28||41||

59Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

60Meeting with the Guru, I have forsaken the love of duality.
