1Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla, Tenth House:

2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3Give me that blessing, O Dear Saints, for which my soul would be a sacrifice.

4Enticed by pride, entrapped and plundered by the five thieves, still, you live near them. I have come to the Sanctuary of the Holy, and I have been rescued from my association with those demons. ||1||Pause||

5I wandered through millions of lifetimes and incarnations. I am so very tired - I have fallen at God's Door. ||1||

6The Lord of the Universe has become Kind to me; He has blessed me with the Support of the Naam.

7This precious human life has become fruitful and prosperous; O Nanak, I am carried across the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||1||45||

8Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla, Eleventh House:

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

10He Himself has come to me, in His Natural Way.

11I know nothing, and I show nothing.

12I have met God through innocent faith, and He has blessed me with peace. ||1||Pause||

13By the good fortune of my destiny, I have joined the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

14I do not go out anywhere; I dwell in my own home.

15God, the Treasure of Virtue, has been revealed in this body-robe. ||1||

16I have fallen in love with His Feet; I have abandoned everything else.

17In the places and interspaces, He is All-pervading.

18With loving joy and excitement, Nanak speaks His Praises. ||2||1||46||

19Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla:

20It is so hard to meet the Lord of the Universe, my Lord and Master.

21His Form is Immeasurable, Inaccessible and Unfathomable; He is All-pervading everywhere. ||1||Pause||

22By speaking and wandering, nothing is gained; nothing is obtained by clever tricks and devices. ||1||

23People try all sorts of things, but the Lord is only met when He shows His Mercy.

24God is Kind and Compassionate, the Treasure of Mercy; servant Nanak is the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||2||2||47||

25Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla:

26O mother, I meditate on the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam.

27Without God, there is no other at all.

28I remember His Lotus Feet with every breath, night and day. ||1||Pause||

29He loves me and makes me His Own; my union with Him shall never be broken.

30He is my breath of life, mind, wealth and everything. The Lord is the Treasure of Virtue and Peace. ||1||

31Here and hereafter, the Lord is perfectly pervading; He is seen deep within the heart.

32In the Sanctuary of the Saints, I am carried across; O Nanak, the terrible pain has been taken away. ||2||3||48||

33Kaanraa, Fifth Mehla:

34God's humble servant is in love with Him.

35You are my Friend, my very best Friend; everything is in Your Home. ||1||Pause||

36I beg for honor, I beg for strength; please bless me with wealth, property and children. ||1||

37You are the Technology of liberation, the Way to worldly success, the Perfect Lord of Supreme Bliss, the Transcendent Treasure.
