1Shalok, Third Mehla:

2The Order of the Lord is beyond challenge. Clever tricks and arguments will not work against it.

3So abandon your self-conceit, and take to His Sanctuary; accept the Order of His Will.

4The Gurmukh eliminates self-conceit from within himself; he shall not be punished by the Messenger of Death.

5O Nanak, he alone is called a selfless servant, who remains lovingly attuned to the True Lord. ||1||

6Third Mehla:

7All gifts, light and beauty are Yours.

8Excessive cleverness and egotism are mine.

9The mortal performs all sorts of rituals in greed and attachment; engrossed in egotsim, he shall never escape the cycle of reincarnation.

10O Nanak, the Creator Himself inspires all to act. Whatever pleases Him is good. ||2||

11Pauree, Fifth Mehla:

12Let Truth be your food, and Truth your clothes, and take the Support of the True Name.

13The True Guru shall lead you to meet God, the Great Giver.

14When perfect destiny is activated, the mortal meditates on the Formless Lord.

15Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you shall cross over the world-ocean.

16O Nanak, chant God's Praises, and celebrate His Victory. ||35||

17Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

18In Your Mercy, You care for all beings and creatures.

19You produce corn and water in abundance; You eliminate pain and poverty, and carry all beings across.

20The Great Giver listened to my prayer, and the world has been cooled and comforted.

21Take me into Your Embrace, and take away all my pain.

22Nanak meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; the House of God is fruitful and prosperous. ||1||

23Fifth Mehla:

24Rain is falling from the clouds - it is so beautiful! The Creator Lord issued His Order.

25Grain has been produced in abundance; the world is cooled and comforted.

26The mind and body are rejuvenated, meditating in remembrance on the Inaccessible and Infinite Lord.

27O my True Creator Lord God, please shower Your Mercy on me.

28He does whatever He pleases; Nanak is forever a sacrifice to Him. ||2||

29Pauree:

30The Great Lord is Inaccessible; His glorious greatness is glorious!

31Gazing upon Him through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, I blossom forth in ecstasy; tranquility comes to my inner being.

32All by Himself, He Himself is pervading everywhere, O Siblings of Destiny.

33He Himself is the Lord and Master of all. He has subdued all, and all are under the Hukam of His Command.

34O Nanak, the Lord does whatever He pleases. Everyone walks in harmony with His Will. ||36||1|| Sudh||

35Raag Saarang, The Word Of The Devotees.

36Kabeer Jee:

37One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

38O mortal, why are you so proud of small things?

39With a few pounds of grain and a few coins in your pocket, you are totally puffed up with pride. ||1||Pause||

40With great pomp and ceremony, you control a hundred villages, with an income of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

41The power you exert will last for only a few days, like the green leaves of the forest. ||1||

42No one has brought this wealth with him, and no one will take it with him when he goes.

43Emperors, even greater than Raawan, passed away in an instant. ||2||
