1When You brought me to the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, then I heard the Bani of Your Word.

2Nanak is in ecstasy, beholding the Glory of the Primal Lord of Nirvaanaa. ||4||7||18||

3Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

4I am the dust of the feet of the Beloved Saints; I seek the Protection of their Sanctuary.

5The Saints are my all-powerful Support; the Saints are my ornament and decoration. ||1||

6I am hand and glove with the Saints.

7I have realized my pre-ordained destiny.

8This mind is yours, O Siblings of Destiny. ||Pause||

9My dealings are with the Saints, and my business is with the Saints.

10I have earned the profit with the Saints, and the treasure filled to over-flowing with devotion to the Lord. ||2||

11The Saints entrusted to me the capital, and my mind's delusion was dispelled.

12What can the Righteous Judge of Dharma do now? All my accounts have been torn up. ||3||

13I have found the greatest bliss, and I am at peace, by the Grace of the Saints.

14Says Nanak, my mind is reconciled with the Lord; it is imbued with the wondrous Love of the Lord. ||4||8||19||

15Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

16All the things that you see, O man, you shall have to leave behind.

17Let your dealings be with the Lord's Name, and you shall attain the state of Nirvaanaa. ||1||

18O my Beloved, You are the Giver of peace.

19The Perfect Guru has given me these Teachings, and I am attuned to You. ||Pause||

20In sexual desire, anger, greed, emotional attachment and self-conceit, peace is not to be found.

21So be the dust of the feet of all, O my mind, and then you shall find bliss, joy and peace. ||2||

22He knows the condition of your inner self, and He will not let your work go in vain - serve Him, O mind.

23Worship Him, and dedicate this mind unto Him, the Image of the Undying Lord, the Divine Guru. ||3||

24He is the Lord of the Universe, the Compassionate Lord, the Supreme Lord God, the Formless Lord.

25The Naam is my merchandise, the Naam is my nourishment; the Naam, O Nanak, is the Support of my breath of life. ||4||9||20||

26Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

27He infuses the breath into the dead bodies, and he reunited the separated ones.

28Even beasts, demons and fools become attentive listeners, when He sings the Praises of the Lord's Name. ||1||

29Behold the glorious greatness of the Perfect Guru.

30His worth cannot be described. ||Pause||

31He has demolished the abode of sorrow and disease, and brought bliss, joy and happiness.

32He effortlessly awards the fruits of the mind's desire, and all works are brought to perfection. ||2||

33He finds peace in this world, and his face is radiant in the world hereafter; his comings and goings are finished.

34He becomes fearless, and his heart is filled with the Naam, the Name of the Lord; his mind is pleasing to the True Guru. ||3||

35Standing up and sitting down, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord; his pain, sorrow and doubt are dispelled.

36Says Nanak, his karma is perfect; his mind is attached to the Guru's feet. ||4||10||21||

37Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

38Forsaking the jewel, he is attached to the shell; nothing will come of it.
