1Abandon your deception, and go beyond vengeance; see God who is always with you.

2Deal only in this true wealth and gather in this true wealth, and you shall never suffer loss. ||1||

3Eating and consuming it, it is never exhausted; God's treasures are overflowing.

4Says Nanak, you shall go home to the Court of the Supreme Lord God with honor and respect. ||2||57||80||

5Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

6O Dear God, I am wretched and helpless!

7From what source did you create humans? This is Your Glorious Grandeur. ||1||Pause||

8You are the Giver of the soul and the breath of life to all; Your Infinite Glories cannot be spoken.

9You are the Beloved Lord of all, the Cherisher of all, the Support of all hearts. ||1||

10No one knows Your state and extent. You alone created the expanse of the Universe.

11Please, give me a seat in the boat of the Holy; O Nanak, thus I shall cross over this terrifying world-ocean, and reach the other shore. ||2||58||81||

12Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

13One who comes to the Lord's Sanctuary is very fortunate.

14He knows of no other than the One Lord. He has renounced all other efforts. ||1||Pause||

15He worships and adores the Lord, Har, Har, in thought, word and deed; in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he finds peace.

16He enjoys bliss and pleasure, and savors the Unspoken Speech of the Lord; he merges intuitively into the True Lord. ||1||

17Sublime and exalted is the speech of one whom the Lord, in His Mercy makes His Own.

18Those who are imbued with God in the state of Nirvaanaa, O Nanak, are emancipated in the Saadh Sangat. ||2||59||82||

19Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

20Since I grasped hold of the Sanctuary of the Holy,

21my mind is illuminated with tranquility, peace and poise, and I am rid of all my pain. ||1||Pause||

22Please be merciful to me, O Lord, and bless me with Your Name; this is the prayer I offer to You.

23I have forgotten my other occupations; remembering God in meditation, I have obtained the true profit. ||1||

24We shall merge again into the One from whom we came; He is the Essence of Being.

25Says Nanak, the Guru has eradicated my doubt; my light has merged into the Light. ||2||60||83||

26Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

27O my tongue, sing the Praises of the Lord.

28Abandon all other tastes and flavors; the taste of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is so sublime. ||1||Pause||

29Enshrine the Lord's Lotus Feet within your heart; let yourself be lovingly attuned to the One Lord.

30In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you shall become immaculate and pure; you shall not come to be reincarnated again. ||1||

31You are the Support of the soul and the breath of life; You are the Home of the homeless.

32With each and every breath, I dwell on the Lord, Har, Har; O Nanak, I am forever a sacrifice to Him. ||2||61||84||

33Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

34To meditate on the Lotus Feet of the Lord of the Universe is heaven for me.

35In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, is the treasure of liberation and the Lord's Ambrosial Name. ||1||Pause||

36O Lord God, please be kind to me, that I may hear with my ears Your Sublime and Exalted Sermon.

37My cycle of coming and going is finally completed, and I have attained peace and tranquility. ||1||
