1Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

2One who forgets the Lord's Name, suffers in pain.

3Those who join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and dwell upon the Lord, find the Ocean of virtue. ||1||Pause||

4Those Gurmukhs whose hearts are filled with wisdom,

5hold the nine treasures, and the miraculous spiritual powers of the Siddhas in the palms of their hands. ||1||

6Those who know the Lord God as their Master,

7do not lack anything. ||2||

8Those who realize the Creator Lord,

9enjoy all peace and pleasure. ||3||

10Those whose inner homes are filled with the Lord's wealth

11- says Nanak, in their company, pain departs. ||4||9||147||

12Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

13Your pride is so great, but what about your origins?

14You cannot remain, no matter how much you try to hold on. ||1||Pause||

15That which is forbidden by the Vedas and the Saints - with that, you are in love.

16Like the gambler losing the game of chance, you are held in the power of sensory desires. ||1||

17The One who is All-powerful to empty out and fill up - you have no love for His Lotus Feet.

18O Nanak, I have been saved, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. I have been blessed by the Treasure of Mercy. ||2||10||148||

19Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

20I am the slave of my Lord and Master.

21I eat whatever God gives me. ||1||Pause||

22Such is my Lord and Master.

23In an instant, He creates and embellishes. ||1||

24I do that work which pleases my Lord and Master.

25I sing the songs of God's glory, and His wondrous play. ||2||

26I seek the Sanctuary of the Lord's Prime Minister;

27beholding Him, my mind is comforted and consoled. ||3||

28The One Lord is my support, the One is my steady anchor.

29Servant Nanak is engaged in the Lord's work. ||4||11||149||

30Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

31Is there anyone, who can shatter his ego,

32and turn his mind away from this sweet Maya? ||1||Pause||

33Humanity is in spiritual ignorance; people see things that do not exist.

34The night is dark and gloomy; how will the morning dawn? ||1||

35Wandering, wandering all around, I have grown weary; trying all sorts of things, I have been searching.

36Says Nanak, He has shown mercy to me; I have found the treasure of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||12||150||

37Gauree, Fifth Mehla:

38He is the Wish-fulfilling Jewel, the Embodiment of Mercy. ||1||Pause||

39The Supreme Lord God is Merciful to the meek;

40meditating in remembrance on Him, peace is obtained. ||1||

41The Wisdom of the Undying Primal Being is beyond comprehension.

42Hearing His Praises, millions of sins are erased. ||2||

43O God, Treasure of Mercy, please bless Nanak with Your kindness, that he may repeat the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||13||151||

44Gauree Poorbee, Fifth Mehla:

45O my mind, in the Sanctuary of God, peace is found.

46That day, when the Giver of life and peace is forgotten - that day passes uselessly. ||1||Pause||

47You have come as a guest for one short night, and yet you hope to live for many ages.

48Households, mansions and wealth - whatever is seen, is like the shade of a tree. ||1||

49My body, wealth, and all my gardens and property shall all pass away.

50You have forgotten your Lord and Master, the Great Giver. In an instant, these shall belong to somebody else. ||2||
