1Is there any such friend, who can untie this difficult knot?

2O Nanak, the One Supreme Lord and Master of the earth reunites the separated ones. ||15||

3I run around in all directions, searching for the love of God.

4The five evil enemies are tormenting me; how can I destroy them?

5Shoot them with the sharp arrows of meditation on the Name of God.

6O Lord! The way to slaughter these terrible sadistic enemies is obtained from the Perfect Guru. ||16||

7The True Guru has blessed me with the bounty which shall never be exhausted.

8Eating and consuming it, all the Gurmukhs are emancipated.

9The Lord, in His Mercy, has blessed me with the treasure of the Ambrosial Naam.

10O Nanak, worship and adore the Lord, who never dies. ||17||

11Wherever the Lord's devotee goes is a blessed, beautiful place.

12All comforts are obtained, meditating on the Lord's Name.

13People praise and congratulate the devotee of the Lord, while the slanderers rot and die.

14Says Nanak, O friend, chant the Naam, and your mind shall be filled with bliss. ||18||

15The mortal never serves the Immaculate Lord, the Purifier of sinners.

16The mortal wastes away in false pleasures. How long can this go on?

17Why do you take such pleasure, looking at this mirage?

18O Lord! I am a sacrifice to those who are known and approved in the Court of the Lord. ||19||

19The fool commits countless foolish actions and so many sinful mistakes.

20The fool's body smells rotten, and turns to dust.

21He wanders lost in the darkness of pride, and never thinks of dying.

22O Lord! The mortal gazes upon the mirage; why does he think it is true? ||20||

23When someone's days are over, who can save him?

24How long can the physicians go on, suggesting various therapies?

25You fool, remember the One Lord; only He shall be of use to you in the end.

26O Lord! Without the Name, the body turns to dust, and everything goes to waste. ||21||

27Drink in the medicine of the Incomparable, Priceless Name.

28Meeting and joining together, the Saints drink it in, and give it to everyone.

29He alone is blessed with it, who is destined to receive it.

30O Lord! I am a sacrifice to those who enjoy the Love of the Lord. ||22||

31The physicians meet together in their assembly.

32The medicines are effective, when the Lord Himself stands in their midst.

33Their good deeds and karma become apparent.

34O Lord! Pains, diseases and sins all vanish from their bodies. ||23||

35Chaubolas, Fifth Mehla:

36One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

37O Samman, if one could buy this love with money,

38then consider Raawan the king. He was not poor, but he could not buy it, even though he offered his head to Shiva. ||1||

39My body is drenched in love and affection for the Lord; there is no distance at all between us.

40My mind is pierced through by the Lotus Feet of the Lord. He is realized when one's intuitive consciousness is attuned to Him. ||2||
