1Granting His Grace, He has made me His Own. The thirst for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan wells up within me.

2Joining the Society of the Saints, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; I have given up other hopes. ||1||

3The Saint has pulled me out of the utterly desolate wilderness, and shown me the path.

4Gazing upon His Darshan, all sins are taken away; Nanak is blessed with the jewel of the Lord. ||2||100||123||

5Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

6O mother, I am involved with the Love of the Lord;

7I am intoxicated with it. My mind has such a longing and thirst for the Blessed Vision, the Darshan of my Beauteous Lord. No one can break this. ||1||Pause||

8The Lord is my breath of life, honor, spouse, parent, child, relative, wealth - everything.

9Cursed is this body of bones, this pile of maggots and manure, if it knows any other than the Lord. ||1||

10The Destroyer of the pains of the poor has become merciful to me, by the power of the karma of my past actions.

11Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of God, the Treasure, the Ocean of Mercy; my subservience to others is past. ||2||101||124||

12Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

13The Lord's melody is noble and sublime.

14The Lotus Feet of my Lord and Master are incomparably beautiful. Meditating on them, one becomes Holy. ||1||Pause||

15Just by thinking of the Darshan, the Blessed Vision of the Lord of the World, the dirty sins are washed away.

16The Lord cuts down and weeds out the corruption of the cycle of birth and death. ||1||

17How rare is that person who has such pre-ordained destiny, to find the Lord.

18Chanting the Glorious Praises of the Creator, the Lord of the Universe - O Nanak, this is Truth. ||2||102||125||

19Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

20The intellect of one who dwells on the Name of the Lord is excellent.

21One who forgets the Lord and becomes involved with some other - all his showy pretensions are false. ||1||Pause||

22Meditate, vibrate on our Lord and Master in the Company of the Holy, and your sins shall be eradicated.

23When the Lord's Lotus Feet abide within the heart, the mortal is never again caught in the cycle of death and birth. ||1||

24He showers us with His kindness and compassion; He saves and protects those who take the Support of the Naam, the Name of the One Lord.

25Meditating in remembrance on Him, day and night, O Nanak, your face shall be radiant in the Court of the Lord. ||2||103||126||

26Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

27Honored - you shall be honored in the Court of the Lord.

28Join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; your egotistical pride will be totally dispelled. ||1||Pause||

29Showering His kindness and compassion, He shall make you His Own. As Gurmukh, your spiritual wisdom shall be perfect.

30All peace and all sorts of ecstasy are obtained, by meditating on the Darshan, the Blessed Vision of my Lord and Master. ||1||

31She who dwells close to her Lord is always the pure, happy soul-bride; she is famous in the ten directions.

32She is imbued with the Love of her Loving Beloved Lord; Nanak is a sacrifice to her. ||2||104||127||

33Saarang, Fifth Mehla:

34O Lord, I take the Support of Your Lotus Feet.

35You are my Best Friend and Companion; I am with You. You are our Protector, O Lord of the Universe. ||1||Pause||

36You are mine, and I am Yours; here and hereafter, You are my Saving Grace.

37You are Endess and Infinite, O my Lord and Master; by Guru's Grace, a few understand. ||1||

38Without being spoken, without being told, You know all, O Searcher of hearts.

39One whom God unites with Himself, O Nanak, that humble being is honored in the Court of the Lord. ||2||105||128||
