1are all in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, the Support of the soul and the breath of life.

2I have obtained the true wealth of the Lord's Love.

3I have crossed over the treacherous world-ocean in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||3||

4Sit in peace, O Saints, with the family of friends.

5Earn the wealth of the Lord, which is beyond estimation.

6He alone obtains it, unto whom the Guru has bestowed it.

7O Nanak, no one shall go away empty-handed. ||4||27||96||

8Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla:

9The hands are sanctified instantly,

10and the entanglements of Maya are dispelled.

11Repeat constantly with your tongue the Glorious Praises of the Lord,

12and you shall find peace, O my friends, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||

13With pen and ink, write upon your paper

14the Name of the Lord, the Ambrosial Word of the Lord's Bani. ||1||Pause||

15By this act, your sins shall be washed away.

16Remembering the Lord in meditation, you shall not be punished by the Messenger of Death.

17The couriers of the Righteous Judge of Dharma shall not touch you.

18The intoxication of Maya shall not entice you at all. ||2||

19You shall be redeemed, and through you, the whole world shall be saved,

20if you chant the Name of the One and Only Lord.

21Practice this yourself, and teach others;

22instill the Lord's Name in your heart. ||3||

23That person, who has this treasure upon his forehead

24that person meditates on God.

25Twenty-four hours a day, chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har.

26Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to Him. ||4||28||97||

27Raag Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla, Chau-Padhay, Dho-Padhay:

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

29That which belongs to another - he claims as his own.

30That which he must abandon - to that, his mind is attracted. ||1||

31Tell me, how can he meet the Lord of the World?

32That which is forbidden - with that, he is in love. ||1||Pause||

33That which is false - he deems as true.

34That which is true - his mind is not attached to that at all. ||2||

35He takes the crooked path of the unrighteous way;

36leaving the straight and narrow path, he weaves his way backwards. ||3||

37God is the Lord and Master of both worlds.

38He, whom the Lord unites with Himself, O Nanak, is liberated. ||4||29||98||

39Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla:

40In the Dark Age of Kali Yuga, they come together through destiny.

41As long as the Lord commands, they enjoy their pleasures. ||1||

42By burning oneself, the Beloved Lord is not obtained.

43Only by the actions of destiny does she rise up and burn herself, as a 'satee'. ||1||Pause||

44Imitating what she sees, with her stubborn mind-set, she goes into the fire.

45She does not obtain the Company of her Beloved Lord, and she wanders through countless incarnations. ||2||

46With pure conduct and self-restraint, she surrenders to her Husband Lord's Will;

47that woman shall not suffer pain at the hands of the Messenger of Death. ||3||

48Says Nanak, she who looks upon the Transcendent Lord as her Husband,

49is the blessed 'satee'; she is received with honor in the Court of the Lord. ||4||30||99||

50Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehla:

51I am prosperous and fortunate, for I have received the True Name.

52I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, with natural, intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||
