1Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

2O Brave and Powerful God, Ocean of Peace, I fell into the pit - please, take my hand. ||1||Pause||

3My ears do not hear, and my eyes are not beautiful. I am in such pain; I am a poor cripple, crying at Your Door. ||1||

4O Master of the poor and helpless, O Embodiment of Compassion, You are my Friend and Intimate, my Father and Mother.

5Nanak holds tight to the Lord's Lotus Feet in his heart; thus the Saints cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||2||115||

6Raag Gauree Bairaagan, Fifth Mehla:

7One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

8O Dear Lord God, my Best Friend, please, abide with me. ||1||Pause||

9Without You, I cannot live, even for an instant, and my life in this world is cursed.

10O Breath of Life of the soul, O Giver of peace, each and every instant I am a sacrifice to You. ||1||

11Please, God, give me the Support of Your Hand; lift me up and pull me out of this pit, O Lord of the World.

12I am worthless, with such a shallow intellect; You are always Merciful to the meek. ||2||

13What comforts of Yours can I dwell upon? How can I contemplate You?

14You lovingly absorb Your slaves into Your Sanctuary, O Lofty, Inaccessible and Infinite Lord. ||3||

15All wealth, and the eight miraculous spiritual powers are in the supremely sublime essence of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

16Those humble beings, with whom the beautifully-haired Lord is thoroughly pleased, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||4||

17You are my mother, father, son and relative; You are the Support of the breath of life.

18In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, Nanak meditates on the Lord, and swims across the poisonous world-ocean. ||5||1||116||

19Gauree Bairaagan, Chhants Of Rehoay, Fifth Mehla:

20One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

21Is there anyone who will sing of the Beloved Lord?

22Surely, this will bring all pleasures and comforts. ||Pause||

23The renunciate goes out into the woods, searching for Him.

24But those who embrace love for the One Lord are very rare.

25Those who find the Lord are very fortunate and blessed. ||1||

26The Gods like Brahma and Sanak yearn for Him;

27the Yogis, celibates and Siddhas yearn for the Lord.

28One who is so blessed, sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

29I seek the Sanctuary of those who have not forgotten Him.

30By great good fortune, one meets the Lord's Saint.

31They are not subject to the cycle of birth and death. ||3||

32Show Your Mercy, and lead me to meet You, O my Darling Beloved.

33Hear my prayer, O Lofty and Infinite God;

34Nanak begs for the Support of Your Name. ||4||1||117||
