1Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

2O Husband Lord, You have given me the silk gown of Your Love to cover and protect my honor.

3You are all-wise and all-knowing, O my Master; Nanak: I have not appreciated Your value, Lord. ||1||

4Fifth Mehla:

5By Your meditative remembrance, I have found everything; nothing seems difficult to me.

6One whose honor the True Lord Master has preserved - O Nanak, no one can dishonor him. ||2||

7Pauree:

8Meditating on the Lord, there comes a great peace.

9Multitudes of illnesses vanish, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

10Utter peace pervades within, when God comes to mind.

11One's hopes are fulfilled, when one's mind is filled with the Name.

12No obstacles stand in the way, when one eliminates his self-conceit.

13The intellect attains the blessing of spiritual wisdom from the Guru.

14He receives everything, unto whom the Lord Himself gives.

15You are the Lord and Master of all; all are under Your Protection. ||8||

16Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

17Crossing the stream, my foot does not get stuck - I am filled with love for You.

18O Lord, my heart is attached to Your Feet; the Lord is Nanak's raft and boat. ||1||

19Fifth Mehla:

20The sight of them banishes my evil-mindedness; they are my only true friends.

21I have searched the whole world; O servant Nanak, how rare are such persons! ||2||

22Pauree:

23You come to mind, O Lord and Master, when I behold Your devotees.

24The filth of my mind is removed, when I dwell in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

25The fear of birth and death is dispelled, meditating on the Word of His humble servant.

26The Saints untie the bonds, and all the demons are dispelled.

27They inspire us to love Him, the One who established the entire universe.

28The seat of the inaccessible and infinite Lord is the highest of the high.

29Night and day, with your palms pressed together, with each and every breath, meditate on Him.

30When the Lord Himself becomes merciful, then we attain the Society of His devotees. ||9||

31Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

32In this wondrous forest of the world, there is chaos and confusion; shrieks emanate from the highways.

33I am in love with You, O my Husband Lord; O Nanak, I cross the jungle joyfully. ||1||

34Fifth Mehla:

35The true society is the company of those who meditate on the Name of the Lord.

36Do not associate with those, O Nanak, who look out only for their own interests. ||2||

37Pauree:

38Approved is that time, when one meets the True Guru.

39Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he does not suffer pain again.

40When he attains the eternal place, he does not have to enter the womb again.

41He comes to see the One God everywhere.

42He focuses his meditation on the essence of spiritual wisdom, and withdraws his attention from other sights.

43All chants are chanted by one who chants them with his mouth.

44Realizing the Hukam of the Lord's Command, he becomes happy, and he is filled with peace and tranquility.

45Those who are assayed, and placed in the Lord's treasury, are not declared counterfeit again. ||10||

46Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

47The pincers of separation are so painful to endure.

48If only the Master would come to meet me! O Nanak, I would then obtain all the true comforts. ||1||
