1His troubles and worries are ended in an instant; O Nanak, he merges in celestial peace. ||4||5||6||

2Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

3Whoever I approach to ask for help, I find him full of his own troubles.

4One who worships in his heart the Supreme Lord God, crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

5No one, except the Guru-Lord, can dispel our pain and sorrow.

6Forsaking God, and serving another, one's honor, dignity and reputation are decreased. ||1||Pause||

7Relatives, relations and family bound through Maya are of no avail.

8The Lord's servant, although of lowly birth, is exalted. Associating with him, one obtains the fruits of his mind's desires. ||2||

9Through corruption, one may obtain thousands and millions of enjoyments, but even so, his desires are not satisfied through them.

10Remembering the Naam, the Name of the Lord, millions of lights appear, and the incomprehensible is understood. ||3||

11Wandering and roaming around, I have come to Your Door, Destroyer of fear, O Lord King.

12Servant Nanak yearns for the dust of the feet of the Holy; in it, he finds peace. ||4||6||7||

13Goojaree, Fifth Mehla, Panch-Pada, Second House:

14One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

15First, he came to dwell in his mother's womb; leaving it, he came into the world.

16Splendid mansions, beautiful gardens and palaces - none of these shall go with him. ||1||

17All other greeds of the greedy are false.

18The Perfect Guru has given me the Name of the Lord, which my soul has come to treasure. ||1||Pause||

19Surrounded by dear friends, relatives, children, siblings and spouse, he laughs playfully.

20But when the very last moment arrives, Death seizes him, while they merely look on. ||2||

21By continual oppression and exploitation, he accumulates wealth, gold, silver and money,

22but the load-bearer gets only paltry wages, while the rest of the money passes on to others. ||3||

23He grabs and collects horses, elephants and chariots, and claims them as his own.

24But when he sets out on the long journey, they will not go even one step with him. ||4||

25The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is my wealth; the Naam is my princely pleasure; the Naam is my family and helper.

26The Guru has given Nanak the wealth of the Naam; it neither perishes, nor comes or goes. ||5||1||8||

27Goojaree, Fifth Mehla, Thi-Padhay, Second House:

28One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

29My sorrows are ended, and I am filled with peace. The fire of desire within me has been quenched.

30The True Guru has implanted the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within me; it neither dies, nor goes anywhere. ||1||

31Meditating on the Lord, the bonds of Maya are cut away.

32When my God becomes kind and compassionate, one joins the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and is emancipated. ||1||Pause||
