1The self-willed manmukhs wander, lost in doubt and duality. They do not know how to contemplate the Lord. ||7||

2He Himself is the Gurmukh, and He Himself gives; He Himself creates and beholds.

3O Nanak, those humble beings are approved, whose honor the Lord Himself accepts. ||8||3||

4Saarang, Fifth Mehla, Ashtpadheeyaa, First House:

5One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

6O Lord of the World, I gaze upon Your wondrous glory.

7You are the Doer, the Cause of causes, the Creator and Destroyer. You are the Sovereign Lord of all. ||1||Pause||

8The rulers and nobles and kings shall become beggars. Their ostentatious shows are false

9. My Sovereign Lord King is eternally stable. His Praises are sung in every heart. ||1||

10Listen to the Praises of my Lord King, O Saints. I chant them as best I can.

11My Lord King, the Great Giver, is Immeasurable. He is the Highest of the high. ||2||

12He has strung His Breath throughout the creation; He locked the fire in the wood.

13He placed the water and the land together, but neither blends with the other. ||3||

14In each and every heart, the Story of our Sovereign Lord is told; in each and every home, they yearn for Him.

15Afterwards, He created all beings and creatures; but first, He provided them with sustenance. ||4||

16Whatever He does, He does by Himself. Who has ever given Him advice?

17The mortals make all sorts of efforts and showy displays, but He is realized only through the Teachings of Truth. ||5||

18The Lord protects and saves His devotees; He blesses them with the glory of His Name.

19Whoever is disrespectful to the humble servant of the Lord, shall be swept away and destroyed. ||6||

20Those who join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, are liberated; all their demerits are taken away.

21Seeing them, God becomes merciful; they are carried across the terrifying world-ocean. ||7||

22I am lowly, I am nothing at all; You are my Great Lord and Master - how can I even contemplate Your creative potency?

23My mind and body are cooled and soothed, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan. Nanak takes the Support of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||8||1||

24Saarang, Fifth Mehla, Ashtpadheeyaa, Sixth House:

25One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

26Listen to the Story of the Inaccessible and Unfathomable.

27The glory of the Supreme Lord God is wondrous and amazing! ||1||Pause||

28Forever and ever, humbly bow to the True Guru.

29By Guru's Grace, sing the Glorious Praises of the Infinite Lord.

30His Light shall radiate deep within your mind.

31With the healing ointment of spiritual wisdom, ignorance is dispelled. ||1||

32There is no limit to His Expanse.

33His Glory is Infinite and Endless.

34His many plays cannot be counted.

35He is not subject to pleasure or pain. ||2||

36Many Brahmas vibrate Him in the Vedas.

37Many Shivas sit in deep meditation.
