1All wealth and treasures are obtained by remembering Him in meditation; twenty-four hours a day, O my mind, meditate on Him. ||1||Pause||

2Your Name is Ambrosial Nectar, O my Lord and Master. Whoever drinks it in is satisfied.

3The sins of countless incarnations are erased, and hereafter, he shall be saved and redeemed in the Court of the Lord. ||1||

4I have come to Your Sanctuary, O Creator, O Perfect Supreme Eternal Lord God.

5Please be kind to me, that I may meditate on Your Lotus Feet. O Nanak, my mind and body thirst for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||2||5||19||

6Saarang, Fifth Mehla, Third House:

7One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

8O my mind, why are you lured away by otherness?

9Here and hereafter, God is forever your Help and Support. He is your soul-mate; He will help you succeed. ||1||Pause||

10The Name of your Beloved Lover, the Fascinating Lord, is Ambrosial Nectar. Drinking it in, you shall find satisfaction.

11The Being of Immortal Manifestation is found in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. Meditate on Him in that most sublime place. ||1||

12The Bani, the Word of the Supreme Lord God, is the greatest Mantra of all. It eradicates pride from the mind.

13Searching, Nanak found the home of peace and bliss in the Name of the Lord. ||2||1||20||

14Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

15O my mind, sing forever the Songs of Joy of the Lord of the Universe.

16All your disease, sorrow and sin will be erased, if you meditate on the Lord's Name, even for an instant. ||1||Pause||

17Abandon all your clever tricks; go and enter the Sanctuary of the Holy.

18When the Lord, the Destroyer of the pains of the poor becomes merciful, the Messenger of Death is changed into the Righteous Judge of Dharma. ||1||

19Without the One Lord, there is no other at all. No one else can equal Him.

20The Lord is Nanak's Mother, Father and Sibling, the Giver of Peace, his Breath of Life. ||2||2||21||

21Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

22The Lord's humble servant saves those who accompany him.

23Their minds are sanctified and rendered pure, and they are rid of the pains of countless incarnations. ||1||Pause||

24Those who walk on the path find peace; they are saved, along with those who speak with them.

25Even those who are drowning in the horrible, deep dark pit are carried across in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||

26Those who have such high destiny turn their faces toward the Saadh Sangat.

27Nanak longs for the dust of their feet; O God, please shower Your Mercy on me! ||2||3||22||

28Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

29The humble servant of the Lord meditates on the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam.

30One who enjoys peace in the Company of the Holy, even for an instant, obtains millions of heavenly paradises. ||1||Pause||

31This human body, so difficult to obtain, is sanctified by meditating on the Lord. It takes away the fear of death.

32Even the sins of terrible sinners are washed away, by cherishing the Lord's Name within the heart. ||1||

33Whoever listens to the Immaculate Praises of the Lord - his pains of birth and death are dispelled.

34Says Nanak, the Lord is found by great good fortune, and then the mind and body blossom forth. ||2||4||23||
