1Says Nanak, I have found the Lord with intuitive ease, within the home of my own heart. Devotional worship of the Lord is a treasure over-flowing. ||2||10||33||

2Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

3O my Enticing Lord, all beings are Yours - You save them.

4Even a tiny bit of Your Mercy ends all cruelty and tyranny. You save and redeem millions of universes. ||1||Pause||

5I offer countless prayers; I remember You each and every instant.

6Please be merciful to me, O Destroyer of the pains of the poor; please give me Your hand and save me. ||1||

7And what about these poor kings? Tell me, who can they kill?

8Save me, save me, save me, O Giver of peace; O Nanak, all the world is Yours. ||2||11||34||

9Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

10Now I have obtained the wealth of the Lord's Name.

11I have become carefree, and all my thirsty desires are satisfied. Such is the destiny written on my forehead. ||1||Pause||

12Searching and searching, I became depressed; I wandered all around, and finally came back to my body-village.

13The Merciful Guru made this deal, and I have obtained the priceless jewel. ||1||

14The other deals and trades which I did, brought only sorrow and suffering.

15Fearless are those traders who deal in meditation on the Lord of the Universe. O Nanak, the Lord's Name is their capital. ||2||12||35||

16Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

17The Speech of my Beloved seems so sweet to my mind.

18The Guru has taken hold of my arm, and linked me to God's service. My Beloved Lord is forever merciful to me. ||1||Pause||

19O God, You are my Lord and Master; You are the Cherisher of all. My wife and I are totally Your slaves.

20You are all my honor and power - You are. Your Name is my only Support. ||1||

21If You seat me on the throne, then I am Your slave. If You make me a grass-cutter, then what can I say?

22Servant Nanak's God is the Primal Lord, the Architect of Destiny, Unfathomable and Immeasurable. ||2||13||36||

23Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

24The tongue becomes beautiful, uttering the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

25In an instant, He creates and destroys. Gazing upon His Wondrous Plays, my mind is fascinated. ||1||Pause||

26Listening to His Praises, my mind is in utter ecstasy, and my heart is rid of pride and pain.

27I have found peace, and my pains have been taken away, since I became one with God. ||1||

28Sinful resides have been wiped away, and my mind is immaculate. The Guru has lifted me up and pulled me out of the deception of Maya.

29Says Nanak, I have found God, the All-powerful Creator, the Cause of causes. ||2||14||37||

30Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

31With my eyes, I have seen the marvellous wonders of the Lord.

32He is far from all, and yet near to all. He is Inaccessible and Unfathomable, and yet He dwells in the heart. ||1||Pause||

33The Infallible Lord never makes a mistake. He does not have to write His Orders, and He does not have to consult with anyone.

34In an instant, He creates, embellishes and destroys. He is the Lover of His devotees, the Treasure of Excellence. ||1||

35Lighting the lamp in the deep dark pit, the Guru illumines and enlightens the heart.
