5Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

6The Lord is always with me.

7The Messenger of Death does not approach me.

8God holds me close in His embrace, and protects me.

9True are the Teachings of the True Guru. ||1||

10The Perfect Guru has done it perfectly.

11He has beaten and driven off my enemies, and given me, His slave, the sublime understanding of the neutral mind. ||1||Pause||

12God has blessed all places with prosperity.

13I have returned again safe and sound.

15It has eradicated all disease. ||2||24||88||

16Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

17The True Guru is the Giver of all peace and comfort - seek His Sanctuary.

18Beholding the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, bliss ensues, pain is dispelled, and one sings the Lord's Praises. ||1||

19Drink in the sublime essence of the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny.

20Chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord; worship the Naam in adoration, and enter the Sanctuary of the Perfect Guru. ||Pause||

21Only one who has such pre-ordained destiny receives it; he alone becomes perfect, O Siblings of Destiny.

24The Lord is the Cause of Causes, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts; He preserves the honor of His servant.

25He is hailed and congratulated throughout the world, and he tastes the sublime essence of the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||

26Dear God, Lord of the world, You are my only support.

27You are all-powerful, the Giver of Sanctuary; twenty-four hours a day, I meditate on You. ||Pause||

28That humble being, who vibrates upon You, O God, is not afflicted by anxiety.

29Attached to the Feet of the True Guru, his fear is dispelled, and within his mind, he sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||2||

30He abides in celestial peace and utter ecstasy; the True Guru has comforted him.

31He has returned home victorious, with honor, and his hopes have been fulfilled. ||3||

32Perfect are the Teachings of the Perfect Guru; Perfect are the actions of God.

35Becoming merciful, the Destroyer of the pains of the poor has Himself devised all devices.

36In an instant, He has saved His humble servant; the Perfect Guru has cut away his bonds. ||1||

37O my mind, meditate forever on the Guru, the Lord of the Universe.

38All illness shall depart from this body, and you shall obtain the fruits of your mind's desires. ||Pause||

39God created all beings and creatures; He is lofty, inaccessible and infinite.
