1their minds are turned towards the Lord in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

2O servant Nanak, their Beloved Lord seems so sweet to them. ||2||1||23||

3Malaar, Fifth Mehla:

4My mind wanders through the dense forest.

5It walks with eagerness and love,

6hoping to meet God. ||1||Pause||

7Maya with her three gunas - the three dispositions - has come to entice me; whom can I tell of my pain? ||1||

8I tried everything else, but nothing could rid me of my sorrow.

9So hurry to the Sanctuary of the Holy, O Nanak; joining them, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe. ||2||2||24||

10Malaar, Fifth Mehla:

11The glory of my Beloved is noble and sublime.

12The celestial singers and angels sing His Sublime Praises in ecstasy, happiness and joy. ||1||Pause||

13The most worthy beings sing God's Praises in beautiful harmonies, in all sorts of ways, in myriads of sublime forms. ||1||

14Throughout the mountains, trees, deserts, oceans and galaxies, permeating each and every heart, the sublime grandeur of my Love is totally pervading.

15In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the Love of the Lord is found; O Nanak, sublime is that faith. ||2||3||25||

16Malaar, Fifth Mehla:

17With love for the Guru, I enshrine the Lotus Feet of my Lord deep within my heart. ||1||Pause||

18I gaze on the Blessed Vision of His Fruitful Darshan; my sins are erased and taken away.

19My mind is immaculate and enlightened. ||1||

20I am wonderstruck, stunned and amazed.

21Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, millions of sins are destroyed.

22I fall at His Feet, and touch my forehead to them.

23You alone are, You alone are, O God.

24Your devotees take Your Support.

25Servant Nanak has come to the Door of Your Sanctuary. ||2||4||26||

26Malaar, Fifth Mehla:

27Rain down with happiness in God's Will.

28Bless me with total bliss and good fortune. ||1||Pause||

29My mind blossoms forth in the Society of the Saints; soaking up the rain, the earth is blessed and beautified. ||1||

30The peacock loves the thunder of the rain clouds.

31The rainbird's mind is drawn to the rain-drop

32- so is my mind enticed by the Lord.

33I have renounced Maya, the deceiver.

34Joining with the Saints, Nanak is awakened. ||2||5||27||

35Malaar, Fifth Mehla:

36Sing forever the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the World.

37Enshrine the Lord's Name in your consciousness. ||1||Pause||

38Forsake your pride, and abandon your ego; join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

39Meditate in loving remembrance on the One Lord; your sorrows shall be ended, O friend. ||1||

40The Supreme Lord God has become merciful;

41corrupt entanglements have come to an end.

42Grasping the feet of the Holy,

43Nanak sings forever the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the World. ||2||6||28||

44Malaar, Fifth Mehla:

45The Embodiment of the Lord of the Universe roars like the thunder-cloud.

46Singing His Glorious Praises brings peace and bliss. ||1||Pause||

47The Sanctuary of the Lord's Feet carries us across the world-ocean. His Sublime Word is the unstruck celestial melody. ||1||

48The thirsty traveller's consciousness obtains the water of the soul from the pool of nectar.

49Servant Nanak loves the Blessed Vision of the Lord; in His Mercy, God has blessed him with it. ||2||7||29||
