1Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

2O mother, I am totally intoxicated with the Lord's Feet.

3I know of none other than the Lord. I have totally burnt off my sense of duality. ||1||Pause||

4To abandon the Lord of the World, and become involved with anything else, is to fall into the pit of corruption.

5My mind is enticed, thirsty for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. He has lifted me up and out of hell. ||1||

6By the Grace of the Saints, I have met the Lord, the Giver of peace; the noise of egotism has been stilled.

7Slave Nanak is imbued with the Love of the Lord; the forests of his mind and body have blossomed forth. ||2||95||118||

8Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

9The false dealings are finished.

10Join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and meditate, vibrate on the Lord. This is the most excellent thing in the world. ||1||Pause||

11Here and hereafter, you shall never waver; enshrine the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within your heart.

12The boat of the Guru's Feet is found by great good fortune; it shall carry you across the world-ocean. ||1||

13The Infinite Lord is totally permeating and pervading the water, the land and the sky.

14Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord's Name; O Nanak, all other tastes are bitter. ||2||96||119||

15Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

16You whine and cry

17- you are intoxicated with the great corruption of attachment and pride, but you do not remember the Lord in meditation. ||1||Pause||

18Those who meditate on the Lord in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy - the guilt of their minstakes is burnt away.

19Fruitful is the body, and blessed is the birth of those who merge with God. ||1||

20The four great blessings, and the eighteen supernatural spiritual powers - above all these are the Holy Saints.

21Slave Nanak longs for the dust of the feet of the humble; attached to the hem of His robe, he is saved. ||2||97||120||

22Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

23The Lord's humble servants yearn for the Lord's Name.

24In thought, word and deed, they long for this peace, to gaze with their eyes upon the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan. ||1||Pause||

25You are Endless, O God, my Supreme Lord and Master; Your state cannot be known.

26My mind is pierced through by the Love of Your Lotus Feet; this is everything to me - I enshrine it deep within my being. ||1||

27In the Vedas, the Puraanas and the Simritees, the humble and the Holy chant this Bani with their tongues.

28Chanting the Lord's Name, O Nanak, I am emancipated; other teachings of duality are useless. ||2||98||121||

29Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

30A fly! You are just a fly, created by the Lord.

31Wherever it stinks, you land there; you suck in the most toxic stench. ||1||Pause||

32You don't stay put anywhere; I have seen this with my eyes.

33You have not spared anyone, except the Saints - the Saints are on the side of the Lord of the Universe. ||1||

34You have enticed all beings and creatures; no one knows You, except the Saints.

35Slave Nanak is imbued with the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. Focusing his consciousness on the Word of the Shabad, he realizes the Presence of the True Lord. ||2||99||122||

36Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

37O mother, the noose of Death has been cut away.

38Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I have found total peace. I remain unattached in the midst of my household. ||1||Pause||
