1Day and night, I chant Your Name. ||1||

2I am worthless; I have no virtue at all.

3God is the Creator, the Cause of all causes. ||1||Pause||

4I am foolish, stupid, ignorant and thoughtless;

5Your Name is my mind's only hope. ||2||

6I have not practiced chanting, deep meditation, self-discipline or good actions;

7but within my mind, I have worshipped God's Name. ||3||

8I know nothing, and my intellect is inadequate.

9Prays Nanak, O God, You are my only Support. ||4||18||69||

10Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

11These two words, Har, Har, make up my maalaa.

12Continually chanting and reciting this rosary, God has become merciful to me, His humble servant. ||1||

13I offer my prayer to the True Guru.

14Shower Your Mercy upon me, and keep me safe in Your Sanctuary; please, give me the maalaa, the rosary of Har, Har. ||1||Pause||

15One who enshrines this rosary of the Lord's Name within his heart,

16is freed of the pains of birth and death. ||2||

17The humble being who contemplates the Lord within his heart, and chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har, with his mouth,

18never wavers, here or hereafter. ||3||

19Says Nanak, one who is imbued with the Name,

20goes to the next world with the maalaa of the Lord's Name. ||4||19||70||

21Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

22All things belong to Him - let yourself belong to Him as well.

23No stain clings to such a humble being. ||1||

24The Lord's servant is liberated forever.

25Whatever He does, is pleasing to His servant; the way of life of His slave is immaculately pure. ||1||Pause||

26One who renounces everything, and enters the Lord's Sanctuary

27- how can Maya cling to him? ||2||

28With the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, in his mind,

29he suffers no anxiety, even in dreams. ||3||

30Says Nanak, I have found the Perfect Guru.

31My doubts and attachments have been totally obliterated. ||4||20||71||

32Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

33When my God is totally pleased with me,

34then, tell me, how can suffering or doubt draw near me? ||1||

35Continually listening to Your Glory, I live.

36I am worthless - save me, O Lord! ||1||Pause||

37My suffering has been ended, and my anxiety is forgotten.

38I have obtained my reward, chanting the Mantra of the True Guru. ||2||

39He is True, and True is His glory.

40Remembering, remembering Him in meditation, keep Him clasped to your heart. ||3||

41Says Nanak, what action is there left to do,

42by one whose mind is filled with the Lord's Name? ||4||21||72||

43Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

44Sexual desire, anger, and egotism lead to ruin.

45Meditating on the Lord, the Lord's humble servants are redeemed. ||1||

46The mortals are asleep, intoxicated with the wine of Maya.

47The devotees remain awake, imbued with the Lord's meditation. ||1||Pause||

48In emotional attachment and doubt, the mortals wander through countless incarnations.

49The devotees remain ever-stable, meditating on the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||2||

50Bound to household and possessions, the mortals are lost in the deep, dark pit.

51The Saints are liberated, knowing the Lord to be near at hand. ||3||

52Says Nanak, one who has taken to God's Sanctuary,

53obtains peace in this world, and salvation in the world hereafter. ||4||22||73||
