1Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

2They do their evil deeds, and pretend otherwise;

3but in the Court of the Lord, they shall be bound and gagged like thieves. ||1||

4Those who remember the Lord belong to the Lord.

5The One Lord is contained in the water, the land and the sky. ||1||Pause||

6Their inner beings are filled with poison, and yet with their mouths, they preach words of Ambrosial Nectar.

7Bound and gagged in the City of Death, they are punished and beaten. ||2||

8Hiding behind many screens, they commit acts of corruption,

9but in an instant, they are revealed to all the world. ||3||

10Those whose inner beings are true, who are attuned to the ambrosial essence of the Naam, the Name of the Lord

11- O Nanak, the Lord, the Architect of Destiny, is merciful to them. ||4||71||140||

12Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

13The Lord's Love shall never leave or depart.

14They alone understand, unto whom the Perfect Guru gives it. ||1||

15One whose mind is attuned to the Lord's Love is true.

16The Love of the Beloved, the Architect of Destiny, is perfect. ||1||Pause||

17Sitting in the Society of the Saints, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

18The color of His Love shall never fade away. ||2||

19Without meditating in remembrance on the Lord, peace is not found.

20All the other loves and tastes of Maya are bland and insipid. ||3||

21Those who are imbued with love by the Guru become happy.

22Says Nanak, the Guru has become merciful to them. ||4||72||141||

23Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

24Meditating in remembrance on the Lord Master, sinful mistakes are erased,

25and one comes to abide in peace, celestial joy and bliss. ||1||

26The Lord's humble servants place their faith in the Lord.

27Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, all anxieties are dispelled. ||1||Pause||

28In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, there is no fear or doubt.

29The Glorious Praises of the Lord are sung there, day and night. ||2||

30Granting His Grace, God has released me from bondage.

31He has given me the Support of His Lotus Feet. ||3||

32Says Nanak, faith comes into the mind of His servant, who continually drinks in the Immaculate Praises of the Lord. ||4||73||142||

33Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

34Those who keep their minds attached to the Lord's Feet

35- pain, suffering and doubt run away from them. ||1||

36Those who deal in the Lord's wealth are perfect.

37Those who are honored by the Lord are the true spiritual heroes. ||1||Pause||

38Those humble beings, unto whom the Lord of the Universe shows mercy,

39fall at the Guru's Feet. ||2||

40They are blessed with peace, celestial bliss, tranquility and ecstasy;

41chanting and meditating, they live in supreme bliss. ||3||

42In the Saadh Sangat, I have earned the wealth of the Naam.

43Says Nanak, God has relieved my pain. ||4||74||143||

44Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

45Meditating in remembrance on the Lord, all suffering is eradicated.

46The Lord's Lotus Feet are enshrined within my mind. ||1||

47Chant the Lord's Name, hundreds of thousands of times, O my dear,

48and drink deeply of the Ambrosial Essence of God. ||1||Pause||

49Peace, celestial bliss, pleasures and the greatest ecstasy are obtained;

50chanting and meditating, you shall live in supreme bliss. ||2||

51Sexual desire, anger, greed and ego are eradicated;

52in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, all sinful mistakes are washed away. ||3||

53Grant Your Grace, O God, O Merciful to the meek.

54Please bless Nanak with the dust of the feet of the Holy. ||4||75||144||
