1That humble being, O Nanak, unto whom the Guru grants His Mercy, is forever enraptured. ||4||6||100||

2Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

3The True Guru has truly given a child.

4The long-lived one has been born to this destiny.

5He came to acquire a home in the womb,

6and his mother's heart is so very glad. ||1||

7A son is born - a devotee of the Lord of the Universe.

8This pre-ordained destiny has been revealed to all. ||Pause||

9In the tenth month, by the Lord's Order, the baby has been born.

10Sorrow is dispelled, and great joy has ensued.

11The companions blissfully sing the songs of the Guru's Bani.

12This is pleasing to the Lord Master. ||2||

13The vine has grown, and shall last for many generations.

14The Power of the Dharma has been firmly established by the Lord.

15That which my mind wishes for, the True Guru has granted.

16I have become carefree, and I fix my attention on the One Lord. ||3||

17As the child places so much faith in his father,

18I speak as it pleases the Guru to have me speak.

19This is not a hidden secret;

20Guru Nanak, greatly pleased, has bestowed this gift. ||4||7||101||

21Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

22Giving His Hand, the Perfect Guru has protected the child.

23The glory of His servant has become manifest. ||1||

24I contemplate the Guru, the Guru; I meditate on the Guru, the Guru.

25I offer my heart-felt prayer to the Guru, and it is answered. ||Pause||

26I have taken to the Sanctuary of the True Divine Guru.

27The service of His servant has been fulfilled. ||2||

28He has preserved my soul, body, youth and breath of life.

29Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru. ||3||8||102||

30Aasaa, Eighth House, Kaafee, Fifth Mehla:

31One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

32I am Your purchased slave, O True Lord Master.

33My soul and body, and all of this, everything is Yours. ||1||

34You are the honor of the dishonored. O Master, in You I place my trust.

35Without the True One, any other support is false - know this well. ||1||Pause||

36Your Command is infinite; no one can find its limit.

37One who meets with the Perfect Guru, walks in the Way of the Lord's Will. ||2||

38Cunning and cleverness are of no use.

39That which the Lord Master gives, by the Pleasure of His Will - that is pleasing to me. ||3||

40One may perform tens of thousands of actions, but attachment to things is not satisfied.

41Servant Nanak has made the Naam his Support. He has renounced other entanglements. ||4||1||103||

42Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

43I have pursued all pleasures, but none is as great as the Lord.

44By the Pleasure of the Guru's Will, the True Lord Master is obtained. ||1||

45I am a sacrifice to my Guru; I am forever and ever a sacrifice to Him.

46Please, grant me this one blessing, that I may never, even for an instant, forget Your Name. ||1||Pause||

47How very fortunate are those who have the wealth of the Lord deep within the heart.
