1I live by meditating on Your Feet, God. ||1||Pause||

2O my Merciful and Almighty God, O Great Giver,

3he alone knows You, whom You so bless. ||2||

4Forever and ever, I am a sacrifice to You.

5Here and hereafter, I seek Your Protection. ||3||

6I am without virtue; I know none of Your Glorious Virtues.

7O Nanak, seeing the Holy Saint, my mind is imbued with You. ||4||3||

8Wadahans, Fifth Mehla:

9God is perfect - He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

10He blesses us with the gift of the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||1||

11Bless me with Your Grace, God, O Merciful to the meek.

12I seek Your Protection, O Perfect Lord, Sustainer of the World. ||1||Pause||

13He is totally pervading and permeating the water, the land and the sky.

14God is near at hand, not far away. ||2||

15One whom He blesses with His Grace, meditates on Him.

16Twenty-four hours a day, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||3||

17He cherishes and sustains all beings and creatures.

18Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Lord's Door. ||4||4||

19Wadahans, Fifth Mehla:

20You are the Great Giver, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

21God, the Perfect Lord and Master, is permeating and pervading in all. ||1||

22The Name of my Beloved God is my only support.

23I live by hearing, continually hearing Your Name. ||1||Pause||

24I seek Your Sanctuary, O my Perfect True Guru.

25My mind is purified by the dust of the Saints. ||2||

26I have enshrined His Lotus Feet within my heart.

27I am a sacrifice to the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||3||

28Show mercy unto me, that I may sing Your Glorious Praises.

29O Nanak, chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, I obtain peace. ||4||5||

30Wadahans, Fifth Mehla:

31In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord.

32The soul does not die, nor does it ever waste away. ||1||

33By great good fortune, one meets the Perfect Guru.

34By Guru's Grace, one meditates on God. ||1||Pause||

35The Lord is the jewel, the pearl, the gem, the diamond.

36Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God, I am in ecstasy. ||2||

37Wherever I look, I see the Sanctuary of the Holy.

38Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, my soul becomes immaculately pure. ||3||

39Within each and every heart, dwells my Lord and Master.

40O Nanak, one obtains the Naam, the Name of the Lord, when God bestows His Mercy. ||4||6||

41Wadahans, Fifth Mehla:

42Do not forget me, O God, Merciful to the meek.

43I seek Your Sanctuary, O Perfect, Compassionate Lord. ||1||Pause||

44Wherever You come to mind, that place is blessed.

45The moment I forget You, I am stricken with regret. ||1||

46All beings are Yours; You are their constant companion.

47Please, give me Your hand, and pull me up out of this world-ocean. ||2||

48Coming and going are by Your Will.

49One whom You save is not afflicted by suffering. ||3||

50You are the One and only Lord and Master; there is no other.

51Nanak offers this prayer with his palms pressed together. ||4||7||

52Wadahans, Fifth Mehla:

53When You allow Yourself to be known, then we know You.

54We chant Your Name, which You have given to us. ||1||

55You are wonderful! Your creative potency is amazing! ||1||Pause||
