1The infinite substance is within it.

2Within it, the great merchant is said to dwell.

3Who is the trader who deals there? ||1||

4How rare is that trader who deals in the jewel of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

5He takes the Ambrosial Nectar as his food. ||1||Pause||

6He dedicates his mind and body to serving the Lord.

7How can we please the Lord?

8I fall at His Feet, and I renounce all sense of 'mine and yours'.

9Who can settle this bargain? ||2||

10How can I attain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence?

11How can I get Him to call me inside?

12You are the Great Merchant; You have millions of traders.

13Who is the benefactor? Who can take me to Him? ||3||

14Seeking and searching, I have found my own home, deep within my own being.

15The True Lord has shown me the priceless jewel.

16When the Great Merchant shows His Mercy, He blends us into Himself.

17Says Nanak, place your faith in the Guru. ||4||16||85||

18Gauree, Fifth Mehla, Gwaarayree:

19Night and day, they remain in the Love of the One.

20They know that God is always with them.

21They make the Name of their Lord and Master their way of life;

22they are satisfied and fulfilled with the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||1||

23Imbued with the Love of the Lord, their minds and bodies are rejuvenated,

24entering the Sanctuary of the Perfect Guru. ||1||Pause||

25The Lord's Lotus Feet are the Support of the soul.

26They see only the One, and obey His Order.

27There is only one trade, and one occupation.

28They know no other than the Formless Lord. ||2||

29They are free of both pleasure and pain.

30They remain unattached, joined to the Lord's Way.

31They are seen among all, and yet they are distinct from all.

32They focus their meditation on the Supreme Lord God. ||3||

33How can I describe the Glories of the Saints?

34Their knowledge is unfathomable; their limits cannot be known.

35O Supreme Lord God, please shower Your Mercy upon me.

36Bless Nanak with the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||4||17||86||

37Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla:

38You are my Companion; You are my Best Friend.

39You are my Beloved; I am in love with You.

40You are my honor; You are my decoration.

41Without You, I cannot survive, even for an instant. ||1||

42You are my Intimate Beloved, You are my breath of life.

43You are my Lord and Master; You are my Leader. ||1||Pause||

44As You keep me, so do I survive.

45Whatever You say, that is what I do.

46Wherever I look, there I see You dwelling.

47O my Fearless Lord, with my tongue, I chant Your Name. ||2||

48You are my nine treasures, You are my storehouse.

49I am imbued with Your Love; You are the Support of my mind.

50You are my Glory; I am blended with You.

51You are my Shelter; You are my Anchoring Support. ||3||

52Deep within my mind and body, I meditate on You.

53I have obtained Your secret from the Guru.

54Through the True Guru, the One and only Lord was implanted within me;

55servant Nanak has taken to the Support of the Lord, Har, Har, Har. ||4||18||87||
