1Gauree Kee Vaar, Fifth Mehla: Sung To The Tune Of Vaar Of Raa-I Kamaaldee-Mojadee:

2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

4Auspicious and approved is the birth of that humble being who chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

5I am a sacrifice to that humble being who vibrates and meditates on God, the Lord of Nirvaanaa.

6The pains of birth and death are eradicated, upon meeting the All-knowing Lord, the Primal Being.

7In the Society of the Saints, he crosses over the world-ocean; O servant Nanak, he has the strength and support of the True Lord. ||1||

8Fifth Mehla:

9I rise up in the early morning hours, and the Holy Guest comes into my home.

10I wash His feet; He is always pleasing to my mind and body.

11I hear the Naam, and I gather in the Naam; I am lovingly attuned to the Naam.

12My home and wealth are totally sanctified as I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

13The Trader in the Lord's Name, O Nanak, is found by great good fortune. ||2||

14Pauree:

15Whatever pleases You is good; True is the Pleasure of Your Will.

16You are the One, pervading in all; You are contained in all.

17You are diffused throughout and permeating all places and interspaces; You are known to be deep within the hearts of all beings.

18Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and submitting to His Will, the True Lord is found.

19Nanak takes to the Sanctuary of God; he is forever and ever a sacrifice to Him. ||1||

20Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

21If you are conscious, then be conscious of the True Lord, Your Lord and Master.

22O Nanak, come aboard upon the boat of the service of the True Guru, and cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

23Fifth Mehla:

24He wears his body, like clothes of wind - what a proud fool he is!

25O Nanak, they will not go with him in the end; they shall be burnt to ashes. ||2||

26Pauree:

27They alone are delivered from the world, who are preserved and protected by the True Lord.

28I live by beholding the faces of those who taste the Ambrosial Essence of the Lord.

29Sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment are burnt away, in the Company of the Holy.

30God grants His Grace, and the Lord Himself tests them.

31O Nanak, His play is not known; no one can understand it. ||2||

32Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

33O Nanak, that day is beautiful, when God comes to mind.

34Cursed is that day, no matter how pleasant the season, when the Supreme Lord God is forgotten. ||1||

35Fifth Mehla:

36O Nanak, become friends with the One, who holds everything in His hands.

37They are accounted as false friends, who do not go with you, for even one step. ||2||

38Pauree:

39The treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is Ambrosial Nectar; meet together and drink it in, O Siblings of Destiny.

40Remembering Him in meditation, peace is found, and all thirst is quenched.

41So serve the Supreme Lord God and the Guru, and you shall never be hungry again.

42All your desires shall be fulfilled, and you shall obtain the status of immortality.

43You alone are as great as Yourself, O Supreme Lord God; Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary. ||3||

44Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

45I have seen all places; there is no place without Him.

46O Nanak, those who meet with the True Guru find the object of life. ||1||
