1Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

2My Guru has rid me of my cynicism.

3I am a sacrifice to that Guru; I am devoted to Him, forever and ever. ||1||Pause||

4I chant the Guru's Name day and night; I enshrine the Guru's Feet within my mind.

5I bathe continually in the dust of the Guru's Feet, washing off my dirty sins. ||1||

6I continually serve the Perfect Guru; I humbly bow to my Guru.

7The Perfect Guru has blessed me with all fruitful rewards; O Nanak, the Guru has emancipated me. ||2||47||70||

8Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

9Meditating in remembrance on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mortal attains salvation.

10His sorrows are dispelled, and his fears are all erased; he is in love with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause||

11His mind worships and adores the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har; his tongue sings the Praises of the Lord.

12Abandoning egotistical pride, sexual desire, anger and slander, he embraces love for the Lord. ||1||

13Worship and adore the Merciful Lord God; chanting the Name of the Lord of the Universe, you shall be embellished and exalted.

14Says Nanak, whoever becomes the dust of all, merges in the Blesed Vision of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2||48||71||

15Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

16I am a sacrifice to my Perfect Guru.

17My Savior Lord has saved me; He has revealed the Glory of His Name. ||1||Pause||

18He makes His servants and slaves fearless, and takes away all their pain.

19So renounce all other efforts, and enshrine the Lord's Lotus Feet within your mind. ||1||

20God is the Support of the breath of life, my Best Friend and Companion, the One and Only Creator of the Universe.

21Nanak's Lord and Master is the Highest of all; again and again, I humbly bow to Him. ||2||49||72||

22Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

23Tell me: other than the Lord, who exists?

24The Creator, the Embodiment of Mercy, bestows all comforts; meditate forever on that God. ||1||Pause||

25All creatures are strung on His Thread; sing the Praises of that God.

26Meditate in remembrance on that Lord and Master who gives you everything. Why would you go to anyone else? ||1||

27Service to my Lord and Master is fruitful and rewarding; from Him, you shall obtain the fruits of your mind's desires.

28Says Nanak, take your profits and leave; you shall go to your true home in peace. ||2||50||73||

29Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

30O my Master, I have come to Your Sanctuary.

31The anxiety of my mind departed, when I gazed upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||1||Pause||

32You know my condition, without my speaking. You inspire me to chant Your Name.

33My pains are gone, and I am absorbed in peace, poise and bliss, singing Your Glorious Praises. ||1||

34Taking me by the arm, You lifted me up, out of the deep dark pit of household and Maya.

35Says Nanak, the Guru has broken my bonds, and ended my separation; He has united me with God. ||2||51||74||
