1The power of Maya is pervading everywhere.

2Her secret is known only by Guru's Grace - no one else knows it. ||1||Pause||

3Conquering and conquering, she has conquered everywhere, and she clings to the whole world.

4Says Nanak, she surrenders to the Holy Saint; becoming his servant, she falls at his feet. ||2||5||14||

5Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

6With my palms pressed together, I offer my prayer, meditating on my Lord and Master.

7Giving me His hand, the Transcendent Lord has saved me, and erased all my sins. ||1||

8The Lord and Master Himself has become merciful.

9I have been emancipated, the embodiment of bliss; I am the child of the Lord of the Universe - He has carried me across. ||1||Pause||

10Meeting her Husband, the soul-bride sings the songs of joy, and celebrates her Lord and Master.

11Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru, who has emancipated everyone. ||2||6||15||

12Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

13Mother, father, siblings, children and relatives - their power is insignificant.

14I have seen the many pleasures of Maya, but none goes with them in the end. ||1||

15O Lord Master, other than You, no one is mine.

16I am a worthless orphan, devoid of merit; I long for Your Support. ||1||Pause||

17I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Your lotus feet; here and hereafter, Yours is the only power.

18In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, Nanak has obtained the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; my obligations to all others are annulled. ||2||7||16||

19Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

20He rids us of entanglements, doubt and emotional attachment, and leads us to love God.

21He implants this instruction in our minds, for us to sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, in peace and poise. ||1||

22O friend, the Saintly Guru is such a helper.

23Meeting Him, the bonds of Maya are released, and one never forgets the Lord. ||1||Pause||

24Practicing, practicing various actions in so many ways, I came to recognize this as the best way.

25Joining the Company of the Holy, Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||8||17||

26Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

27In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; His value cannot be described.

28He turns the king into a beggar in an instant, and He infuses splendor into the lowly. ||1||

29Meditate forever on Your Lord.

30Why should I feel worry or anxiety, when I am here for only a short time. ||1||Pause||

31You are my support, O my Perfect True Guru; my mind has taken to the protection of Your Sanctuary.

32Nanak, I am a foolish and ignorant child; reach out to me with Your hand, Lord, and save me. ||2||9||18||

33Goojaree, Fifth Mehla:

34You are the Giver of all beings; please, come to dwell within my mind.

35That heart, within which Your lotus feet are enshrined, suffers no darkness or doubt. ||1||

36O Lord Master, wherever I remember You, there I find You.

37Show Mercy to me, O God, Cherisher of all, that I may sing Your Praises forever. ||1||Pause||

38With each and every breath, I contemplate Your Name; O God, I long for You alone.

39O Nanak, my support is the Creator Lord; I have renounced all other hopes. ||2||10||19||
