1He is pleased at the sight of his elephants and horses

2and his armies assembled, his servants and his soldiers.

3But the noose of egotism is tightening around his neck. ||2||

4His rule may extend in all ten directions;

5he may revel in pleasures, and enjoy many women

6- but he is just a beggar, who in his dream, is a king. ||3||

7The True Guru has shown me that there is only one pleasure.

8Whatever the Lord does, is pleasing to the Lord's devotee.

9Servant Nanak has abolished his ego, and he is absorbed in the Lord. ||4||

10This is the way to find happiness, O my Siblings of Destiny.

11This is the way to find the Lord, our Help and Support. ||1||Second Pause||

12Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla:

13Why do you doubt? What do you doubt?

14God is pervading the water, the land and the sky.

15The Gurmukhs are saved, while the self-willed manmukhs lose their honor. ||1||

16One who is protected by the Merciful Lord

17- no one else can rival him. ||1||Pause||

18The Infinite One is pervading among all.

19So sleep in peace, and don't worry.

20He knows everything which happens. ||2||

21The self-willed manmukhs are dying in the thirst of duality.

22They wander lost through countless incarnations; this is their pre-ordained destiny.

23As they plant, so shall they harvest. ||3||

24Beholding the Blessed Vision, my mind has blossomed forth.

25And now everywhere I look, God is revealed to me.

26Servant Nanak's hopes have been fulfilled by the Lord. ||4||2||71||

27Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla:

28In so many incarnations, you were a worm and a moth;

29in so many incarnations, you were an elephant, a fish and a deer.

30In so many incarnations, you were a bird and a snake.

31In so many incarnations, you were yoked as an ox and a horse. ||1||

32Meet the Lord of the Universe - now is the time to meet Him.

33After so very long, this human body was fashioned for you. ||1||Pause||

34In so many incarnations, you were rocks and mountains;

35in so many incarnations, you were aborted in the womb;

36in so many incarnations, you developed branches and leaves;

37you wandered through 8.4 million incarnations. ||2||

38Through the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you obtained this human life.

39Do seva - selfless service; follow the Guru's Teachings, and vibrate the Lord's Name, Har, Har.

40Abandon pride, falsehood and arrogance.

41Remain dead while yet alive, and you shall be welcomed in the Court of the Lord. ||3||

42Whatever has been, and whatever shall be, comes from You, Lord.

43No one else can do anything at all.

44We are united with You, when You unite us with Yourself.

45Says Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||4||3||72||

46Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla:

47In the field of karma, plant the seed of the Naam.

48Your works shall be brought to fruition.

49You shall obtain these fruits, and the fear of death shall be dispelled.

50Sing continually the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

51Keep the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, enshrined in your heart,

52and your affairs shall be quickly resolved. ||1||Pause||

53Be always attentive to your God;

54thus you shall be honored in His Court.
