1Malaar, Fifth Mehla:

2It is God's Nature to love His devotees.

3He destroys the slanderers, crushing them beneath His Feet. His Glory is manifest everywhere. ||1||Pause||

4His Victory is celebrated all throughout the world. He blesses all creatures with compassion.

5Hugging him close in His Embrace, the Lord saves and protects His slave. The hot winds cannot even touch him. ||1||

6My Lord and Master has made me His Own; dispelling my doubts and fears, He has made me happy.

7The Lord's slaves enjoy ultimate ecstasy; O Nanak, faith has welled up in my mind. ||2||14||18||

8Raag Malaar, Fifth Mehla, Chau-Padhay, Second House:

9One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

10The Gurmukh sees God pervading everywhere.

11The Gurmukh knows that the universe is the extension of the three gunas, the three dispositions.

12The Gurmukh reflects on the Sound-current of the Naad, and the wisdom of the Vedas.

13Without the Perfect Guru, there is only pitch-black darkness. ||1||

14O my mind, calling on the Guru, eternal peace is found.

15Following the Guru's Teachings, the Lord comes to dwell within the heart; I meditate on my Lord and Master with every breath and morsel of food. ||1||Pause||

16I am a sacrifice to the Guru's Feet.

17Night and day, I continually sing the Glorious Praises of the Guru.

18I take my cleansing bath in the dust of the Guru's Feet.

19I am honored in the True Court of the Lord. ||2||

20The Guru is the boat, to carry me across the terrifying world-ocean.

21Meeting with the Guru, I shall not be reincarnated ever again.

22That humble being serves the Guru,

23who has such karma inscribed on his forehead by the Primal Lord. ||3||

24The Guru is my life; the Guru is my support.

25The Guru is my way of life; the Guru is my family.

26The Guru is my Lord and Master; I seek the Sanctuary of the True Guru.

27O Nanak, the Guru is the Supreme Lord God; His value cannot be estimated. ||4||1||19||

28Malaar, Fifth Mehla:

29I enshrine the Lord's Feet within my heart;

30in His Mercy, God has united me with Himself.

31God enjoins His servant to his tasks.

32His worth cannot be expressed. ||1||

33Please be merciful to me, O Perfect Giver of peace.

34By Your Grace, You come to mind; I am imbued with Your Love, twenty-four hours a day. ||1||Pause||

35Singing and listening, it is all by Your Will.

36One who understands the Hukam of Your Command is absorbed in Truth.

37Chanting and meditating on Your Name, I live.

38Without You, there is no place at all. ||2||

39Pain and pleasure come by Your Command, O Creator Lord.

40By the Pleasure of Your Will You forgive, and by the Pleasure of Your Will You award punishment.

41You are the Creator of both realms.

42I am a sacrifice to Your Glorious Grandeur. ||3||

43You alone know Your value.

44You alone understand, You Yourself speak and listen.

45They alone are devotees, who are pleasing to Your Will.
