1No one belives what the slanderer says.

2The slanderer tells lies, and later regrets and repents.

3He wrings his hands, and hits his head against the ground.

4The Lord does not forgive the slanderer. ||2||

5The Lord's slave does not wish anyone ill.

6The slanderer suffers, as if stabbed by a spear.

7Like a crane, he spreads his feathers, to look like a swan.

8When he speaks with his mouth, then he is exposed and driven out. ||3||

9The Creator is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

10That person, whom the Lord makes His Own, becomes stable and steady.

11The Lord's slave is true in the Court of the Lord.

12Servant Nanak speaks, after contemplating the essence of reality. ||4||41||54||

13Bhairao, Fifth Mehla:

14With my palms pressed together, I offer this prayer.

15My soul, body and wealth are His property.

16He is the Creator, my Lord and Master.

17Millions of times, I am a sacrifice to Him. ||1||

18The dust of the feet of the Holy brings purity.

19Remembering God in meditation, the mind's corruption is eradicated, and the filth of countless incarnations is washed away. ||1||Pause||

20All treasures are in His household.

21Serving Him, the mortal attains honor.

22He is the Fulfiller of the mind's desires.

23He is the Support of the soul and the breath of life of His devotees. ||2||

24His Light shines in each and every heart.

25Chanting and meditating on God, the Treasure of Virtue, His devotees live.

26Service to Him does not go in vain.

27Deep within your mind and body, meditate on the One Lord. ||3||

28Following the Guru's Teachings, compassion and contentment are found.

29This Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the immaculate object.

30Please grant Your Grace, O Lord, and attach me to the hem of Your robe.

31Nanak meditates continually on the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||4||42||55||

43The Name of the Lord abides deep within him.

44Wherever he looks, he sees the Wisdom of God.

45His mind is totally enlightened and illuminated.
