1O my mind, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

2The Naam is your Companion; it shall always be with you. It shall save you in the world hereafter. ||1||Pause||

3What good is worldly greatness?

4All the pleasures of Maya are tasteless and insipid. In the end, they shall all fade away.

5Perfectly fulfilled and supremely acclaimed is the one, in whose heart the Lord abides. ||2||

6Become the dust of the Saints; renounce your selfishness and conceit.

7Give up all your schemes and your clever mental tricks, and fall at the Feet of the Guru.

8He alone receives the Jewel, upon whose forehead such wondrous destiny is written. ||3||

9O Siblings of Destiny, it is received only when God Himself bestows it.

10People serve the True Guru only when the fever of egotism has been eradicated.

11Nanak has met the Guru; all his sufferings have come to an end. ||4||8||78||

12Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla:

13The One is the Knower of all beings; He alone is our Savior.

14The One is the Support of the mind; the One is the Support of the breath of life.

15In His Sanctuary there is eternal peace. He is the Supreme Lord God, the Creator. ||1||

16O my mind, give up all these efforts.

17Dwell upon the Perfect Guru each day, and attach yourself to the One Lord. ||1||Pause||

18The One is my Brother, the One is my Friend. The One is my Mother and Father.

19The One is the Support of the mind; He has given us body and soul.

20May I never forget God from my mind; He holds all in the Power of His Hands. ||2||

21The One is within the home of the self, and the One is outside as well. He Himself is in all places and interspaces.

22Meditate twenty-four hours a day on the One who created all beings and creatures.

23Attuned to the Love of the One, there is no sorrow or suffering. ||3||

24There is only the One Supreme Lord God; there is no other at all.

25Soul and body all belong to Him; whatever pleases His Will comes to pass.

26Through the Perfect Guru, one becomes perfect; O Nanak, meditate on the True One. ||4||9||79||

27Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla:

28Those who focus their consciousness on the True Guru are perfectly fulfilled and famous.

29Spiritual wisdom wells up in the minds of those unto whom the Lord Himself shows Mercy.

30Those who have such destiny written upon their foreheads obtain the Name of the Lord. ||1||

31O my mind, meditate on the Name of the One Lord.

32The happiness of all happiness shall well up, and in the Court of the Lord, you shall be dressed in robes of honor. ||1||Pause||

33The fear of death and rebirth is removed by performing loving devotional service to the Lord of the World.

34In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, one becomes immaculate and pure; the Lord Himself takes care of such a one.

35The filth of birth and death is washed away, and one is uplifted, beholding the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan. ||2||

36The Supreme Lord God is pervading all places and interspaces.

37The One is the Giver of all-there is no other at all.

38In His Sanctuary, one is saved. Whatever He wishes, comes to pass. ||3||

39Perfectly fulfilled and famous are those, in whose minds the Supreme Lord God abides.

40Their reputation is spotless and pure; they are famous all over the world.

41O Nanak, I am a sacrifice to those who meditate on my God. ||4||10||80||
