1Prays Nanak, please, give me Your Hand and save me, O Lord of the Universe, Merciful to the meek. ||4||

2That day is judged to be fruitful, when I merged with my Lord.

3Total happiness was revealed, and pain was taken far away.

4Peace, tranquility, joy and eternal happiness come from constantly singing the Glorious Praises of the Sustainer of the World.

5Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I lovingly remember the Lord; I shall not wander again in reincarnation.

6He has naturally hugged me close in His Loving Embrace, and the seed of my primal destiny has sprouted.

7Prays Nanak, He Himself has met me, and He shall never again leave me. ||5||4||7||

8Bihaagraa, Fifth Mehla, Chhant:

9Listen to my prayer, O my Lord and Master.

10I am filled with millions of sins, but still, I am Your slave.

11O Destroyer of pain, Bestower of Mercy, Fascinating Lord, Destroyer of sorrow and strife,

12I have come to Your Sanctuary; please preserve my honor. You are all-pervading, O Immaculate Lord.

13He hears and beholds all; God is with us, the nearest of the near.

14O Lord and Master, hear Nanak's prayer; please save the servants of Your household. ||1||

15You are eternal and all-powerful; I am a mere beggar, Lord.

16I am intoxicated with the love of Maya - save me, Lord!

17Bound down by greed, emotional attachment and corruption, I have made so many mistakes.

18The creator is both attached and detached from entanglements; one obtains the fruits of his own actions.

19Show kindness to me, O Purifier of sinners; I am so tired of wandering through reincarnation.

20Prays Nanak, I am the slave of the Lord; God is the Support of my soul, and my breath of life. ||2||

21You are great and all-powerful; my understanding is so inadequate, O Lord.

22You cherish even the ungrateful ones; Your Glance of Grace is perfect, Lord.

23Your wisdom is unfathomable, O Infinite Creator. I am lowly, and I know nothing.

24Forsaking the jewel, I have saved the shell; I am a lowly, ignorant beast.

25I have kept that which forsakes me, and is very fickle, continually committing sins, again and again.

26Nanak seeks Your Sanctuary, Almighty Lord and Master; please, preserve my honor. ||3||

27I was separated from Him, and now, He has united me with Himself.

28In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

29Singing the Praises of the Lord of the Universe, the ever-sublime blissful Lord is revealed to me.

30My bed is adorned with God; my God has made me His own.

31Abandoning anxiety, I have become carefree, and I shall not suffer in pain any longer.

32Nanak lives by beholding the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, the ocean of excellence. ||4||5||8||

33Bihaagraa, Fifth Mehla, Chhant:

34O you of sublime faith, chant the Lord's Name; why do you remain silent?

35with your eyes, you have seen the treacherous ways of Maya.

36Nothing shall go along with you, except the Name of the Lord of the Universe.

37Land, clothes, gold and silver - all of these things are useless.

38Children, spouse, worldly honors, elephants, horses and other corrupting influences shall not go with you.

39Prays Nanak, without the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the whole world is false. ||1||
