1I am a sacrifice to my Guru.

2God, the Great Giver, the Perfect One, has become merciful to me, and now, all are kind to me. ||Pause||

3Servant Nanak has entered His Sanctuary.

4He has perfectly preserved his honor.

5All suffering has been dispelled.

6So enjoy peace, O my Siblings of Destiny! ||2||28||92||

7Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

8Hear my prayer, O my Lord and Master; all beings and creatures were created by You.

9You preserve the honor of Your Name, O Lord, Cause of causes. ||1||

10O Dear God, Beloved, please, make me Your own.

11Whether good or bad, I am Yours. ||Pause||

12The Almighty Lord and Master heard my prayer; cutting away my bonds, He has adorned me.

13He dressed me in robes of honor, and blended His servant with Himself; Nanak is revealed in glory throughout the world. ||2||29||93||

14Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla:

15All beings and creatures are subservient to all those who serve in the Lord's Court.

16Their God made them His own, and carried them across the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

17He resolves all the affairs of His Saints.

18He is merciful to the meek, kind and compassionate, the ocean of kindness, my Perfect Lord and Master. ||Pause||

19I am asked to come and be seated, everywhere I go, and I lack nothing.

20The Lord blesses His humble devotee with robes of honor; O Nanak, the Glory of God is manifest. ||2||30||94||

21Sorat'h, Ninth Mehla:

22One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

23O mind, love the Lord.

24With your ears, hear the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, and with your tongue, sing His song. ||1||Pause||

25Join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and meditate in remembrance on the Lord; even a sinner like yourself will become pure.

26Death is on the prowl, with its mouth wide open, friend. ||1||

27Today or tomorrow, eventually it will seize you; understand this in your consciousness.

28Says Nanak, meditate, and vibrate upon the Lord; this opportunity is slipping away! ||2||1||

29Sorat'h, Ninth Mehla:

30The mind remains in the mind.

31He does not meditate on the Lord, nor does he perform service at sacred shrines, and so death seizes him by the hair. ||1||Pause||

32Wife, friends, children, carriages, property, total wealth, the entire world

33- know that all of these things are false. The Lord's meditation alone is true. ||1||

34Wandering, wandering around for so many ages, he has grown weary, and finally, he obtained this human body.

35Says Nanak, this is the opportunity to meet the Lord; why don't you remember Him in meditation? ||2||2||

36Sorat'h, Ninth Mehla:

37O mind, what evil-mindedness have you developed?

38You are engrossed in the pleasures of other men's wives, and slander; you have not worshipped the Lord at all. ||1||Pause||

39You do not know the way to liberation, but you run all around chasing wealth.
