1Nanak: my honor and glory are Yours, God. ||4||40||109||

2Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

3Those who have You on their side, O All-powerful Lord

4- no black stain can stick to them. ||1||

5O Lord of wealth, those who place their hopes in You

6- nothing of the world can touch them at all. ||1||Pause||

7Those whose hearts are filled with their Lord and Master

8- no anxiety can affect them. ||2||

9Those, unto whom You give Your consolation, God

10- pain does not even approach them. ||3||

11Says Nanak, I have found that Guru,

12who has shown me the Perfect, Supreme Lord God. ||4||41||110||

13Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

14This human body is so difficult to obtain; it is only obtained by great good fortune.

15Those who do not meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, are murderers of the soul. ||1||

16Those who forget the Lord might just as well die.

17Without the Naam, of what use are their lives? ||1||Pause||

18Eating, drinking, playing, laughing and showing off

19- what use are the ostentatious displays of the dead? ||2||

20Those who do not listen to the Praises of the Lord of supreme bliss,

21are worse off than beasts, birds or creeping creatures. ||3||

22Says Nanak, the GurMantra has been implanted within me;

23the Name alone is contained within my heart. ||4||42||111||

24Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

25Whose mother is this? Whose father is this?

26They are relatives in name only- they are all false. ||1||

27Why are you screaming and shouting, you fool?

28By good destiny and the Lord's Order, you have come into the world. ||1||Pause||

29There is the one dust, the one light,

30the one praanic wind. Why are you crying? For whom do you cry? ||2||

31People weep and cry out, ""Mine, mine!""

32This soul is not perishable. ||3||

33Says Nanak, the Guru has opened my shutters;

34I am liberated, and my doubts have been dispelled. ||4||43||112||

35Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

36Those who seem to be great and powerful,

37are afflicted by the disease of anxiety. ||1||

38Who is great by the greatness of Maya?

39They alone are great, who are lovingly attached to the Lord. ||1||Pause||

40The landlord fights over his land each day.

41He shall have to leave it in the end, and yet his desire is still not satisfied. ||2||

42Says Nanak, this is the essence of Truth:

43without the Lord's meditation, there is no salvation. ||3||44||113||

44Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

45Perfect is the path; perfect is the cleansing bath.

46Everything is perfect, if the Naam is in the heart. ||1||

47One's honor remains perfect, when the Perfect Lord preserves it.

48His servant takes to the Sanctuary of the Supreme Lord God. ||1||Pause||

49Perfect is the peace; perfect is the contentment.

50Perfect is the penance; perfect is the Raja Yoga, the Yoga of meditation and success. ||2||

51On the Lord's Path, sinners are purified.

52Perfect is their glory; perfect is their humanity. ||3||

53They dwell forever in the Presence of the Creator Lord.

54Says Nanak, my True Guru is Perfect. ||4||45||114||

55Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

56Millions of sins are wiped away by the dust of the feet of the Saints.
