1Twenty-four hours a day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, absorbed in loving devotional worship.

2He remains unaffected by both fortune and misfortune, and he recognizes the Creator Lord. ||2||

3The Lord saves those who belong to Him, and all pathways are opened to them.

4Says Nanak, the value of the Merciful Lord God cannot be described. ||3||1||9||

5Goojaree, Fifth Mehla, Dho-Padhay, Second House:

6One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

7The Lord has sanctified the sinners and made them His own; all bow in reverence to Him.

8No one asks about their ancestry and social status; instead, they yearn for the dust of their feet. ||1||

9O Lord Master, such is Your Name.

10You are called the Lord of all creation; You give Your unique support to Your servant. ||1||Pause||

11In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, Nanak has obtained understanding; singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises is his only support.

12The Lord's servants, Naam Dayv, Trilochan, Kabeer and Ravi Daas the shoe-maker have been liberated. ||2||1||10||

13Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

14No one understands the Lord; who can understand His plans?

15Shiva, Brahma and all the silent sages cannot understand the state of the Lord. ||1||

16God's sermon is profound and unfathomable.

17He is heard to be one thing, but He is understood to be something else again; He is beyond description and explanation. ||1||Pause||

18He Himself is the devotee, and He Himself is the Lord and Master; He is imbued with Himself.

19Nanak's God is pervading and permeating everywhere; wherever he looks, He is there. ||2||2||11||

20Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

21The humble servant of the Lord has no plans, politics or other clever tricks.

22Whenever the occasion arises, there, he meditates on the Lord. ||1||

23It is the very nature of God to love His devotees;

24He cherishes His servant, and caresses him as His own child. ||1||Pause||

25The Lord's servant sings the Kirtan of His Praises as his worship, deep meditation, self-discipline and religious observances.

26Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of his Lord and Master, and has received the blessings of fearlessness and peace. ||2||3||12||

27Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

28Worship the Lord in adoration, day and night, O my dear - do not delay for a moment.

29Serve the Saints with loving faith, and set aside your pride and stubbornness. ||1||

30The fascinating, playful Lord is my very breath of life and honor.

31He abides in my heart; beholding His playful games, my mind is fascinated. ||1||Pause||

32Remembering Him, my mind is in bliss, and the rust of my mind is removed.

33The great honor of meeting the Lord cannot be described; O Nanak, it is infinite, beyond measure. ||2||4||13||

34Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

35They call themselves silent sages, Yogis and scholars of the Shaastras, but Maya has has them all under her control.

36The three gods, and the 330,000,000 demi-gods, were astonished. ||1||
