1I am a sacrifice to the Guru; meeting Him, I am absorbed into the True Lord. ||1||Pause||

2Good omens and bad omens affect those who do not keep the Lord in the mind.

3The Messenger of Death does not approach those who are pleasing to the Lord God. ||2||

4Donations to charity, meditation and penance - above all of them is the Naam.

5One who chants with his tongue the Name of the Lord, Har, Har - his works are brought to perfect completion. ||3||

6His fears are removed, and his doubts and attachments are gone; he sees none other than God.

7O Nanak, the Supreme Lord God preserves him, and no pain or sorrow afflicts him any longer. ||4||18||120||

8Aasaa, Ninth House, Fifth Mehla:

9One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

10Contemplating Him within my consciousness, I obtain total peace; but hereafter, will I be pleasing to Him or not?

11There is only One Giver; all others are beggars. Who else can we turn to? ||1||

12When I beg from others, I am ashamed.

13The One Lord Master is the Supreme King of all; who else is equal to Him? ||1||Pause||

14Standing up and sitting down, I cannot live without Him. I search and search for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.

15Even Brahma and the sages Sanak, Sanandan, Sanaatan and Sanat Kumar, find it difficult to obtain the Mansion of the Lord's Presence. ||2||

16He is unapproachable and unfathomable; His wisdom is deep and profound; His value cannot be appraised.

17I have taken to the Sanctuary of the True Lord, the Primal Being, and I meditate on the True Guru. ||3||

18God, the Lord Master, has become kind and compassionate; He has cut the noose of death away from my neck.

19Says Nanak, now that I have obtained the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I shall not have to be reincarnated again. ||4||1||121||

20Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:

21Inwardly, I sing His Praises, and outwardly, I sing His Praises; I sing His Praises while awake and asleep.

22I am a trader in the Name of the Lord of the Universe; He has given it to me as my supplies, to carry with me. ||1||

23I have forgotten and forsaken other things.

24The Perfect Guru has given me the Gift of the Naam; this alone is my Support. ||1||Pause||

25I sing His Praises while suffering, and I sing His Praises while I am at peace as well. I contemplate Him while I walk along the Path.

26The Guru has implanted the Naam within my mind, and my thirst has been quenched. ||2||

27I sing His Praises during the day, and I sing His Praises during the night; I sing them with each and every breath.

28In the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, this faith is established, that the Lord is with us, in life and in death. ||3||

29Bless servant Nanak with this gift, O God, that he may obtain, and enshrine in his heart, the dust of the feet of the Saints.

30Hear the Lord's Sermon with your ears, and behold the Blessed Vision of His Darshan with your eyes; place your forehead upon the Guru's Feet. ||4||2||122||
