1So speaks Keerat the poet: those who grasp hold of the feet of the Saints, are not afraid of death, sexual desire or anger.

2Just as Guru Nanak was part and parcel, life and limb with Guru Angad, so is Guru Amar Daas one with Guru Raam Daas. ||1||

3Whoever serves the True Guru obtains the treasure; night and day, he dwells at the Lord's Feet.

4And so, the entire Sangat loves, fears and respects You. You are the sandalwood tree; Your fragrance spreads gloriously far and wide.

5Dhroo, Prahlaad, Kabeer and Trilochan chanted the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and His Illumination radiantly shines forth.

6Seeing Him, the mind is totally delighted; Guru Raam Daas is the Helper and Support of the Saints. ||2||

7Guru Nanak realized the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. He was lovingly attuned to loving devotional worship of the Lord.

8Gur Angad was with Him, life and limb, like the ocean; He showered His consciousness with the Word of the Shabad.

9The Unspoken Speech of Guru Amar Daas cannot be expressed with only one tongue.

10Guru Raam Daas of the Sodhi dynasty has now been blessed with Glorious Greatness, to carry the whole world across. ||3||

11I am overflowing with sins and demerits; I have no merits or virtues at all. I abandoned the Ambrosial Nectar, and I drank poison instead.

12I am attached to Maya, and deluded by doubt; I have fallen in love with my children and spouse.

13I have heard that the most exalted Path of all is the Sangat, the Guru's Congregation. Joining it, the fear of death is taken away.

14Keerat the poet offers this one prayer: O Guru Raam Daas, save me! Take me into Your Sanctuary! ||4||58||

15He has crushed and overpowered emotional attachment. He seized sexual desire by the hair, and threw it down.

16With His Power, He cut anger into pieces, and sent greed away in disgrace.

17Life and death, with palms pressed together, respect and obey the Hukam of His Command.

18He brought the terrifying world-ocean under His Control; by His Pleasure, He carried His Sikhs across.

19He is seated upon the Throne of Truth, with the canopy above His Head; He is embellished with the powers of Yoga and the enjoyment of pleasures.

20So speaks SALL the poet: O Guru Raam Daas, Your sovereign power is eternal and unbreakable; Your army is invincible. ||1||

21You are the True Guru, throughout the four ages; You Yourself are the Transcendent Lord.

22The angelic beings, seekers, Siddhas and Sikhs have served You, since the very beginning of time.

23You are the Primal Lord God, from the very beginning, and throughout the ages; Your Power supports the three worlds.

24You are Inaccessible; You are the Saving Grace of the Vedas. You have conquered old age and death.

25Guru Amar Daas has permanently established You; You are the Emancipator, to carry all across to the other side.

26So speaks SALL the poet: O Guru Raam Daas, You are the Destroyer of sins; I seek Your Sanctuary. ||2||60||

27Swaiyas In Praise Of The Fifth Mehla:

28One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

29Meditate in remembrance on the Primal Lord God, Eternal and Imperishable.

30Remembering Him in meditation, the filth of evil-mindedness is eradicated.

31I enshrine the Lotus Feet of the True Guru within my heart.
