1Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

2O Saint, You are attuned to the Lord.

3Please stand my me, Architect of Destiny; please take me to my destination, Great Giver. ||1||Pause||

4You alone know Your mystery; You are the Perfect Architect of Destiny.

5I am a helpless orphan - please keep me under Your Protection and save me. ||1||

6Your Feet are the boat to carry us across the world-ocean; You alone know Your ways.

7Those whom You keep protected, by Your Kindness, cross over to the other side. ||2||

8Here and hereafter, God, You are All-powerful; everything is in Your Hands.

9Please give me that treasure, which will go along with me, O servant of the Lord. ||3||

10I am without virtue - please bless me with virtue, so that my mind might chant the Name of the Lord.

11By the Grace of the Saints, Nanak has met the Lord; his mind and body are soothed and satisfied. ||4||14||135||

12Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

13I am intuitively absorbed in the Divine Lord.

14The Divine True Guru has become Merciful to me. ||1||Pause||

15Cutting away the halter, He has made me His slave, and now I work for the Saints.

16I have become a worshipper of the One Name; the Guru has shown me this amazing wonder. ||1||

17The Divine Light has dawned, and everything is illuminated; the Guru has revealed this spiritual wisdom to my mind.

18Drinking deeply of the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, my mind is satisfied, and my fears have been vanquished. ||2||

19Accepting the Command of the Lord's Will, I have found total peace; the home of suffering has been destroyed.

20When God, our Lord and Master was totally pleased, He revealed everything in the form of ecstasy. ||3||

21Nothing comes, and nothing goes; this play is all set in motion by the Lord, the Sovereign King.

22Says Nanak, our Lord and Master is inaccessible and unfathomable. The Lord's devotees take His Name as their Support. ||4||15||136||

23Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

24He is the Supreme Lord God, the Perfect Transcendent Lord; O my mind, hold tight to the Support of the One

25who established the solar systems and galaxies. Chant the Name of that Lord. ||1||Pause||

26Renounce the intellectual cleverness of your mind, O humble servants of the Lord; understanding the Hukam of His Command, peace is found.

27Whatever God does, accept that with pleasure; in comfort and in suffering, meditate on Him. ||1||

28The Creator emancipates millions of sinners in an instant, without a moment's delay.

29The Lord, the Destroyer of the pain and sorrow of the poor, blesses those with whom He is pleased. ||2||

30He is Mother and Father, the Cherisher of all; He is the Breath of life of all beings, the Ocean of peace.

31While giving so generously, the Creator does not diminish at all. The Source of jewels, He is All-pervading. ||3||

32The beggar begs for Your Name, O Lord and Master; God is contained deep within the nucleus of each and every heart.

33Slave Nanak has entered His Sanctuary; no one returns from Him empty-handed. ||4||16||137||
