1Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar from the pool of the Lord; chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

2In the Society of the Saints, one meets the Lord; meditating on Him, one's affairs are resolved.

3God is the One who accomplishes everything; He is the Dispeller of pain. Never forget Him from your mind, even for an instant.

4He is blissful, night and day; He is forever True. All Glories are contained in the Lord in the Universe.

5Incalculable, lofty and infinite is the Lord and Master. Unapproachable is His home.

6Prays Nanak, my desires are fulfilled; I have met the Lord, the Greatest Lover. ||3||

7The fruits of many millions of charitable feasts come to those who listen to and sing the Lord's Praise.

8Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, all one's generations are carried across.

9Chanting the Name of the Lord, one is beautified; what Praises of His can I chant?

10I shall never forget the Lord; He is the Beloved of my soul. My mind constantly yearns for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.

11Auspicious is that day, when God, the lofty, inaccessible and infinite, hugs me close in His embrace.

12Prays Nanak, everything is fruitful - I have met my supremely beloved Lord God. ||4||3||6||

13Bihaagraa, Fifth Mehla, Chhant:

14Why are you imbued with the love of another? That path is very dangerous.

15O sinner, no one is your friend.

16No one shall be your friend, and you shall forever regret your actions.

17You have not chanted with your tongue the Praises of the Sustainer of the World; when will these days come again?

18The leaf, separated from the branch, shall not be joined with it again; all alone, it falls on its way to death.

19Prays Nanak, without the Lord's Name, the soul wanders, forever suffering. ||1||

20You are practicing deception secretly, but the Lord, the Knower, knows all.

21When the Righteous Judge of Dharma reads your account, you shall be squeezed like a sesame seed in the oil-press.

22For the actions you committed, you shall suffer the penalty; you shall be consigned to countless reincarnations.

23Imbued with the love of Maya, the great enticer, you shall lose the jewel of this human life.

24Except for the One Name of the Lord, you are clever in everything else.

25Prays Nanak, those who have such pre-ordained destiny are attracted to doubt and emotional attachment. ||2||

26No one advocates for the ungrateful person, who is separated from the Lord.

27The hard-hearted Messenger of Death comes and seizes him.

28He seizes him, and leads him away, to pay for his evil deeds; he was imbued with Maya, the great enticer.

29He was not Gurmukh - he did not chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe; and now, the hot irons are put to his chest.

30He is ruined by sexual desire, anger and egotism; deprived of spiritual wisdom, he comes to regret.

31Prays Nanak, by his cursed destiny he has gone astray; with his tongue, he does not chant the Name of the Lord. ||3||

32Without You, God, no one is our savior.

33It is Your Nature, Lord, to save the sinners.

34O Savior of sinners, I have entered Your Sanctuary, O Lord and Master, Compassionate Ocean of Mercy.

35Please, rescue me from the deep, dark pit, O Creator, Cherisher of all hearts.

36I seek Your Sanctuary; please, cut away these heavy bonds, and give me the Support of the One Name.
