1Says Nanak, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, I have found peace, and all my hopes have been fulfilled. ||2||15||38||

2Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

3The most beautiful path for the feet is to follow the Lord of the Universe.

4The more you walk on any other path, the more you suffer in pain. ||1||Pause||

5The eyes are sanctified, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. Serving Him, the hands are sanctified.

6The heart is sanctified, when the Lord abides within the heart; that forehead which touches the dust of the feet of the Saints is sanctified. ||1||

7All treasures are in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; he alone obtains it, who has it written in his karma.

8Servant Nanak has met with the Perfect Guru; he passes his life-night in peace, poise and pleasure. ||2||16||39||

9Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

10Meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; at the very last instant, it shall be your Help and Support.

11In that place where your mother, father, children and siblings shall be of no use to you at all, there, the Name alone shall save you. ||1||Pause||

12He alone meditates on the Lord in the deep dark pit of his own household, upon whose forehead such destiny is written.

13His bonds are loosened, and the Guru liberates him. He sees You, O Lord, everywhere. ||1||

14Drinking in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, his mind is satisfied. Tasting it, his tongue is satiated.

15Says Nanak, I have obtained celestial peace and poise; the Guru has quenched all my thirst. ||2||17||40||

16Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

17Meeting the Guru, I meditate on God in such a way,

18that He has become kind and compassionate to me. He is the Destroyer of pain; He does not allow the hot wind to even touch me. ||1||Pause||

19With each and every breath I take, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

20He is not separated from me, even for an instant, and I never forget Him. He is always with me, wherever I go. ||1||

21I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice to His Lotus Feet. I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan.

22Says Nanak, I do not care about anything else; I have found the Lord, the Ocean of peace. ||2||18||41||

23Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

24The Word of the Guru's Shabad seems so sweet to my mind.

25My karma has been activated, and the Divine Radiance of the Lord, Har, Har, is manifest in each and every heart. ||1||Pause||

26The Supreme Lord God, beyond birth, Self-existent, is seated within every heart everywhere.

27I have come to obtain the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Lotus Feet of God. ||1||

28I anoint my forehead with the dust of the Society of the Saints; it is as if I have bathed at all the sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

29Says Nanak, I am dyed in the deep crimson color of His Love; the Love of my Lord shall never fade away. ||2||19||42||

30Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

31The Guru has given me the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, as my Companion.

32If the Word of God dwells within my heart for even an instant, all my hunger is relieved. ||1||Pause||

33O Treasure of Mercy, Master of Excellence, my Lord and Master, Ocean of peace, Lord of all.

34My hopes rest in You alone, O my Lord and Master; hope in anything else is useless. ||1||

35My eyes were satisfied and fulfilled, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, when the Guru placed His Hand on my forehead.
