1Pain and disease have left my body, and my mind has become pure; I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har.

2I am in bliss, meeting with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and now, my mind does not go wandering. ||1||

3My burning desires are quenched, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, O mother.

4The fever of doubt has been totally eliminated; meeting the Guru, I am cooled and soothed, with intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||

5My wandering has ended, since I have realized the One and Only Lord; now, I have come to dwell in the eternal place.

6Your Saints are the Saving Grace of the world; beholding the Blessed Vision of their Darshan, I remain satisfied. ||2||

7I have left behind the sins of countless incarnations, now that I have grasped the feet of the eternal Holy Guru.

8My mind sings the celestial melody of bliss,

9and death shall no longer consume it. ||3||

10My Lord, the Cause of all causes, is All-powerful, the Giver of peace; He is my Lord, my Lord King.

11Nanak lives by chanting Your Name, O Lord; You are my helper, with me, through and through. ||4||9||

12Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

13The slanderer cries out and bewails.

14He has forgotten the Supreme Lord, the Transcendent Lord; the slanderer reaps the rewards of his own actions. ||1||Pause||

15If someone is his companion, then he shall be taken along with him.

16Like the dragon, the slanderer carries his huge, useless loads, and burns in his own fire. ||1||

17Nanak proclaims and announces what happens at the Door of the Transcendent Lord.

18The humble devotees of the Lord are forever in bliss; singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, they blossom forth. ||2||10||

19Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

20Even though I totally decorated myself,

21still, my mind was not satisfied.

22I applied various scented oils to my body,

23and yet, I did not obtain even a tiny bit of pleasure from this.

24Within my mind, I hold such a desire,

25that I may live only to behold my Beloved, O my mother. ||1||

26O mother, what should I do? This mind cannot rest.

27It is bewitched by the tender love of my Beloved. ||1||Pause||

28Garments, ornaments, and such exquisite pleasures

29I look upon these as of no account.

30Likewise, honor, fame, dignity and greatness,

31obedience by the whole world,

32and a household as beautiful as a jewel.

33If I am pleasing to God's Will, then I shall be blessed, and forever in bliss. ||2||

34With foods and delicacies of so many different kinds,

35and such abundant pleasures and entertainments,

36power and property and absolute command

37with these, the mind is not satisfied, and its thirst is not quenched.

38Without meeting Him, this day does not pass.

39Meeting God, I find peace. ||3||

40By searching and seeking, I have heard this news,

41that without the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, no one swims across.

42One who has this good destiny written upon his forehead, finds the True Guru.

43His hopes are fulfilled, and his mind is satisfied.

44When one meets God, then his thirst is quenched.

45Nanak has found the Lord, within his mind and body. ||4||11||

46Aasaa, Fifth Mehla, Panch-Padhay:
