1By great good fortune, I found the Guru, O Siblings of Destiny, and I meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

2The Truth is forever pure, O Siblings of Destiny; those who are true are pure.

3When the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace, O Siblings of Destiny, then one obtains Him.

4Among millions, O Siblings of Destiny, hardly one humble servant of the Lord is found.

5Nanak is imbued with the True Name, O Siblings of Destiny; hearing it, the mind and body become immaculately pure. ||4||2||

6Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla, Dho-Thukay:

7As long as this person believes in love and hate, it is difficult for him to meet the Lord.

8As long as he discriminates between himself and others, he will distance himself from the Lord. ||1||

9O Lord, grant me such understanding,

10that I might serve the Holy Saints, and seek the protection of their feet, and not forget them, for a moment, even an instant. ||Pause||

11O foolish, thoughtless and fickle mind, such understanding did not come into your heart.

12Renouncing the Lord of Life, you have become engrossed in other things, and you are involved with your enemies. ||2||

13Sorrow does not afflict one who does not harbor self-conceit; in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I have attained this understanding.

14Know that the babbling of the faithless cynic is like wind passing by. ||3||

15This mind is inundated by millions of sins - what can I say?

16Nanak, Your humble servant has come to Your Sanctuary, God; please, erase all his accounts. ||4||3||

17Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

18Children, spouses, men and women in one's household, are all bound by Maya.

19At the very last moment, none of them shall stand by you; their love is totally false. ||1||

20O man, why do you pamper your body so?

21It shall disperse like a cloud of smoke; vibrate upon the One, the Beloved Lord. ||Pause||

22There are three ways in which the body can be consumed - it can be thrown into water, given to the dogs, or cremated to ashes.

23He considers himself to be immortal; he sits in his home, and forgets the Lord, the Cause of causes. ||2||

24In various ways, the Lord has fashioned the beads, and strung them on a slender thread.

25The thread shall break, O wretched man, and then, you shall repent and regret. ||3||

26He created you, and after creating you, He adorned you - meditate on Him day and night.

27God has showered His Mercy upon servant Nanak; I hold tight to the Support of the True Guru. ||4||4||

28Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

29I met the perfect Guru, by great good fortune, and my mind has been enlightened.

30No one else can equal me, because I have the loving support of my Lord and Master. ||1||

31I am a sacrifice to my True Guru.

32I am at peace in this world, and I shall be in celestial peace in the next; my home is filled with bliss. ||Pause||

33He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, the Creator, my Lord and Master.

34Attached to the Guru's feet, I have become fearless. I take the Support of the Name of the One Lord. ||2||

35Fruitful is the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; the Form of God is deathless; He is and shall always be.

36He holds His humble servants close, and protects and preserves them; their love for Him is sweet to Him. ||3||

37Great is His glorious greatness, and wondrous is His magnificence; through Him, all affairs are resolved.
