1Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

2You are my waves, and I am Your fish.

3You are my Lord and Master; I wait at Your Door. ||1||

4You are my Creator, and I am Your servant.

5I have taken to Your Sanctuary, O God, most profound and excellent. ||1||Pause||

6You are my life, You are my Support.

7Beholding You, my heart-lotus blossoms forth. ||2||

8You are my salvation and honor; You make me acceptable.

9You are All-powerful, You are my strength. ||3||

10Night and day, I chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the treasure of excellence.

11This is Nanak's prayer to God. ||4||23||74||

12Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

13The mourner practices falsehood;

14he laughs with glee, while mourning for others. ||1||

15Someone has died, while there is singing in someone else's house.

16One mourns and bewails, while another laughs with glee. ||1||Pause||

17From childhood to old age,

18the mortal does not attain his goals, and he comes to regret in the end. ||2||

19The world is under the influence of the three qualities.

20The mortal is reincarnated, again and again, into heaven and hell. ||3||

21Says Nanak, one who is attached to the Naam, the Name of the Lord,

22becomes acceptable, and his life becomes fruitful. ||4||24||75||

23Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

24She remains asleep, and does not know the news of God.

25The day dawns, and then, she regrets. ||1||

26Loving the Beloved, the mind is filled with celestial bliss.

27You yearn to meet with God, so why do you delay? ||1||Pause||

28He came and poured His Ambrosial Nectar into your hands,

29but it slipped through your fingers, and fell onto the ground. ||2||

30You are burdened with desire, emotional attachment and egotism;

31it is not the fault of God the Creator. ||3||

32In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the darkness of doubt is dispelled.

33O Nanak, the Creator Lord blends us with Himself. ||4||25||76||

34Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

35I long for the Lotus Feet of my Beloved Lord.

36The wretched Messenger of Death has run away from me. ||1||

37You enter into my mind, by Your Kind Mercy.

38Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, all diseases are destroyed. ||1||Pause||

39Death gives so much pain to others,

40but it cannot even come near Your slave. ||2||

41My mind thirsts for Your Vision;

42in peaceful ease and bliss, I dwell in detachment. ||3||

43Hear this prayer of Nanak:

44please, infuse Your Name into his heart. ||4||26||77||

45Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

46My mind is satisfied, and my entanglements have been dissolved.

47God has become merciful to me. ||1||

48By the Grace of the Saints, everything has turned out well.

49His House is overflowing with all things; I have met Him, the Fearless Master. ||1||Pause||

50By the Kind Mercy of the Holy Saints, the Naam has been implanted within me.

51The most dreadful desires have been eliminated. ||2||

52My Master has given me a gift;

53the fire has been extinguished, and my mind is now at peace. ||3||

54My search has ended, and my mind is absorbed in celestial bliss.
