1Cursed is emotional attachment and love of Maya; no one is seen to be at peace. ||1||Pause||

2God is Wise, Giving, Tender-hearted, Pure, Beautiful and Infinite.

3He is our Companion and Helper, Supremely Great, Lofty and Utterly Infinite.

4He is not known as young or old; His Court is Steady and Stable.

5Whatever we seek from Him, we receive. He is the Support of the unsupported. ||2||

6Seeing Him, our evil inclinations vanish; mind and body become peaceful and tranquil.

7With one-pointed mind, meditate on the One Lord, and the doubts of your mind will be dispelled.

8He is the Treasure of Excellence, the Ever-fresh Being. His Gift is Perfect and Complete.

9Forever and ever, worship and adore Him. Day and night, do not forget Him. ||3||

10One whose destiny is so pre-ordained, obtains the Lord of the Universe as his Companion.

11I dedicate my body, mind, wealth and all to Him. I totally sacrifice my soul to Him.

12Seeing and hearing, He is always close at hand. In each and every heart, God is pervading.

13Even the ungrateful ones are cherished by God. O Nanak, He is forever the Forgiver. ||4||13||83||

14Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla:

15This mind, body and wealth were given by God, who naturally adorns us.

16He has blessed us with all our energy, and infused His Infinite Light deep within us.

17Forever and ever, meditate in remembrance on God; keep Him enshrined in your heart. ||1||

18O my mind, without the Lord, there is no other at all.

19Remain in God's Sanctuary forever, and no suffering shall afflict you. ||1||Pause||

20Jewels, treasures, pearls, gold and silver-all these are just dust.

21Mother, father, children and relatives-all relations are false.

22The self-willed manmukh is an insulting beast; he does not acknowledge the One who created him. ||2||

23The Lord is pervading within and beyond, and yet people think that He is far away.

24They are engrossed in clinging desires; within their hearts there is ego and falsehood.

25Without devotion to the Naam, crowds of people come and go. ||3||

26Please preserve Your beings and creatures, God; O Creator Lord, please be merciful!

27Without God, there is no saving grace. The Messenger of Death is cruel and unfeeling.

28O Nanak, may I never forget the Naam! Please bless me with Your Mercy, Lord! ||4||14||84||

29Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla:

30"My body and my wealth; my ruling power, my beautiful form and country-mine!"

31You may have children, a wife and many mistresses; you may enjoy all sorts of pleasures and fine clothes.

32And yet, if the Name of the Lord does not abide within the heart, none of it has any use or value. ||1||

33O my mind, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

34Always keep the Company of the Holy, and focus your consciousness on the Feet of the Guru. ||1||Pause||

35Those who have such blessed destiny written on their foreheads meditate on the Treasure of the Naam.

36All their affairs are brought to fruition, holding onto the Guru's Feet.

37The diseases of ego and doubt are cast out; they shall not come and go in reincarnation. ||2||

38Let the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, be your cleansing baths at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

39Your soul, breath of life, mind and body shall blossom forth in lush profusion; this is the true purpose of life.
