1Your Word is eternal, O Guru Nanak; You placed Your Hand of blessing upon my forehead. ||2||21||49||

2Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

3All beings and creatures were created by Him; He alone is the support and friend of the Saints.

4He Himself preserves the honor of His servants; their glorious greatness becomes perfect. ||1||

5The Perfect Supreme Lord God is always with me.

6The Perfect Guru has perfectly and totally protected me, and now everyone is kind and compassionate to me. ||1||Pause||

7Night and day, Nanak meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; He is the Giver of the soul, and the breath of life itself.

8He hugs His slave close in His loving embrace, like the mother and father hug their child. ||2||22||50||

9Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla, Third House, Chau-Padhay:

10One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

11Meeting with the council, my doubts were not dispelled.

12The chiefs did not give me satisfaction.

13I presented my dispute to the noblemen as well.

14But it was only settled by meeting with the King, my Lord. ||1||

15Now, I do not go searching anywhere else,

16because I have met the Guru, the Lord of the Universe. ||Pause||

17When I came to God's Darbaar, His Holy Court,

18then all of my cries and complaints were settled.

19Now that I have attained what I had sought,

20where should I come and where should I go? ||2||

21There, true justice is administered.

22There, the Lord Master and His disciple are one and the same.

23The Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, knows.

24Without our speaking, He understands. ||3||

25He is the King of all places.

26There, the unstruck melody of the Shabad resounds.

27Of what use is cleverness when dealing with Him?

28Meeting with Him, O Nanak, one loses his self-conceit. ||4||1||51||

29Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

30Enshrine the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within your heart;

31sitting within your own home, meditate on the Guru.

32The Perfect Guru has spoken the Truth;

33the True Peace is obtained only from the Lord. ||1||

34My Guru has become merciful.

35In bliss, peace, pleasure and joy, I have returned to my own home, after my purifying bath. ||Pause||

36True is the glorious greatness of the Guru;

37His worth cannot be described.

38He is the Supreme Overlord of kings.

39Meeting with the Guru, the mind is enraptured. ||2||

40All sins are washed away,

41meeting with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

42The Lord's Name is the treasure of excellence;

43chanting it, one's affairs are perfectly resolved. ||3||

44The Guru has opened the door of liberation,

45and the entire world applauds Him with cheers of victory.

46O Nanak, God is always with me;

47my fears of birth and death are gone. ||4||2||52||

48Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

49The Perfect Guru has granted His Grace,

50and God has fulfilled my desire.

51After taking my bath of purification, I returned to my home,

52and I found bliss, happiness and peace. ||1||

53O Saints, salvation comes from the Lord's Name.

54While standing up and sitting down, meditate on the Lord's Name. Night and day, do good deeds. ||1||Pause||
