1They escape from the great noose of death; they are permeated with the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||2||

2How can I chant the Glorious Praises of the Guru? The Guru is the ocean of Truth and clear understanding.

3He is the Perfect Transcendent Lord, from the very beginning, and throughout the ages. ||3||

4Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, forever and ever, my mind is filled with the Love of the Lord, Har, Har.

5The Guru is my soul, my breath of life, and wealth; O Nanak, He is with me forever. ||4||2||104||

6Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

7If the Invisible and Infinite Lord dwells within my mind, even for a moment,

8then all my pains, troubles, and diseases vanish. ||1||

9I am a sacrifice to my Lord Master.

10Meditating on Him, a great joy wells up within my mind and body. ||1||Pause||

11I have heard only a little bit of news about the True Lord Master.

12I have obtained the peace of all peace, O my mother; I cannot estimate its worth. ||2||

13He is so beautiful to my eyes; beholding Him, I have been bewitched.

14I am worthless, O my mother; He Himself has attached me to the hem of His robe. ||3||

15He is beyond the world of the Vedas, the Koran and the Bible.

16The Supreme King of Nanak is immanent and manifest. ||4||3||105||

17Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

18Tens of thousands of devotees worship and adore You, chanting, ""Beloved, Beloved.""

19How shall You unite me, the worthless and corrupt soul, with Yourself. ||1||

20You are my Support, O Merciful God, Lord of the Universe, Sustainer of the World.

21You are the Master of all; the entire creation is Yours. ||1||Pause||

22You are the constant help and support of the Saints, who behold You Ever-present.

23Those who lack the Naam, the Name of the Lord, shall die, engulfed in sorrow and pain. ||2||

24Those servants, who lovingly perform the Lord's service, are freed from the cycle of reincarnation.

25What shall be the fate of those who forget the Naam? ||3||

26As are the cattle which have strayed, so is the entire world.

27O God, please cut away Nanak's bonds, and unite him with Yourself. ||4||4||106||

28Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

29Forget all other things, and dwell upon the Lord alone.

30Lay aside your false pride, and dedicate your mind and body to Him. ||1||

31Twenty-four hours a day, praise the Creator Lord.

32I live by Your bountiful gifts - please, shower me with Your Mercy! ||1||Pause||

33So, do that work, by which your face shall be made radiant.

34He alone becomes attached to the Truth, O Lord, unto whom You give it. ||2||

35So build and adorn that house, which shall never be destroyed.

36Enshrine the One Lord within your consciousness; He shall never die. ||3||

37The Lord is dear to those, who are pleasing to the Will of God.

38By Guru's Grace, Nanak describes the indescribable. ||4||5||107||

39Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

40What are they like - those who do not forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord?

41Know that there is absolutely no difference; they are exactly like the Lord. ||1||

42The mind and body are enraptured, meeting with You, O Lord.

43Peace is obtained, by the favor of the Lord's humble servant; all pains are taken away. ||1||Pause||

44As many as are the continents of the world, so many have been saved.

45Those, in whose minds You Yourself dwell, O Lord, are the perfect devotees. ||2||
