1Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla:

2How may I obtain the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan? ||1||Pause||

3I hope and thirst for Your wish-fulfilling image; my heart yearns and longs for You. ||1||

4The meek and humble Saints are like thirsty fish; the Saints of the Lord are absorbed in Him.

5I am the dust of the feet of the Lord's Saints.

6I dedicate my heart to them.

7God has become Merciful to me.

8Renouncing pride and leaving behind emotional attachment, O Nanak, one meets with the Dear Lord. ||2||2||35||

9Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla:

10The Playful Lord imbues all with the Color of His Love.

11From the ant to the elephant, He is permeating and pervading all. ||1||Pause||

12Some go on fasts, make vows, and take pilgrimages to sacred shrines on the Ganges.

13They stand naked in the water, enduring hunger and poverty.

14They sit cross-legged, perform worship services and do good deeds.

15They apply religious symbols to their bodies, and ceremonial marks to their limbs.

16They read through the Shaastras, but they do not join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation. ||1||

17They stubbornly practice ritualistic postures, standing on their heads.

18They are afflicted with the disease of egotism, and their faults are not covered up.

19They burn in the fire of sexual frustration, unresolved anger and compulsive desire.

20He alone is liberated, O Nanak, whose True Guru is Good. ||2||3||36||

21Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla, Seventh House:

22One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

23My thirst has been quenched, meeting with the Holy.

24The five thieves have run away, and I am in peace and poise; singing, singing, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, I obtain the Blessed Vision of my Beloved. ||1||Pause||

25That which God has done for me - how can I do that for Him in return?

26I make my heart a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice to You. ||1||

27First, I fall at the feet of the Saints; I meditate, meditate, lovingly attuned to You.

28O God, where is that Place, where You contemplate all Your beings?

29Countless slaves sing Your Praises.

30He alone meets You, who is pleasing to Your Will. Servant Nanak remains absorbed in his Lord and Master.

31You, You, You alone, Lord. ||2||1||37||

32Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla, Eighth House:

33One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

34Give up your pride and your self-conceit; the Loving, Merciful Lord is watching over all. O mind, become the dust of His Feet. ||1||Pause||

35Through the Mantra of the Lord's Saints, experience the spiritual wisdom and meditation of the Lord of the World. ||1||

36Within your heart, sing the Praises of the Lord of the Universe, and be lovingly attuned to His Lotus Feet. He is the Fascinating Lord, Merciful to the meek and the humble.

37O Merciful Lord, please bless me with Your Kindness and Compassion.

38Nanak begs for the Gift of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

39I have abandoned emotional attachment, doubt and all egotistical pride. ||2||1||38||

40Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla:

41Speaking of God, filth and pollution are burnt away; This comes by meeting with the Guru, and not by any other efforts. ||1||Pause||
