1Blessed is that place, and blessed is that house, in which the Saints dwell.

2Fulfill this desire of servant Nanak, O Lord Master, that he may bow in reverence to Your devotees. ||2||9||40||

3Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

4He has saved me from the awful power of Maya, by attaching me to His feet.

5He gave my mind the Mantra of the Naam, the Name of the One Lord, which shall never perish or leave me. ||1||

6The Perfect True Guru has given this gift.

7He has blessed me with the Kirtan of the Praises of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and I am emancipated. ||Pause||

8My God has made me His own, and saved the honor of His devotee.

9Nanak has grasped the feet of his God, and has found peace, day and night. ||2||10||41||

10Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

11Stealing the property of others, acting in greed, lying and slandering - in these ways, he passes his life.

12He places his hopes in false mirages, believing them to be sweet; this is the support he installs in his mind. ||1||

13The faithless cynic passes his life uselessly.

14He is like the mouse, gnawing away at the pile of paper, making it useless to the poor wretch. ||Pause||

15Have mercy on me, O Supreme Lord God, and release me from these bonds.

16The blind are sinking, O Nanak; God saves them, uniting them with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||11||42||

17Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

18Remembering, remembering God, the Lord Master in meditation, my body, mind and heart are cooled and soothed.

19The Supreme Lord God is my beauty, pleasure, peace, wealth, soul and social status. ||1||

20My tongue is intoxicated with the Lord, the source of nectar.

21I am in love, in love with the Lord's lotus feet, the treasure of riches. ||Pause||

22I am His - He has saved me; this is God's perfect way.

23The Giver of peace has blended Nanak with Himself; the Lord has preserved his honor. ||2||12||43||

24Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

25All demons and enemies are eradicated by You, Lord; Your glory is manifest and radiant.

26Whoever harms Your devotees, You destroy in an instant. ||1||

27I look to You continually, Lord.

28O Lord, Destroyer of ego, please, be the helper and companion of Your slaves; take my hand, and save me, O my Friend! ||Pause||

29My Lord and Master has heard my prayer, and given me His protection.

30Nanak is in ecstasy, and his pains are gone; he meditates on the Lord, forever and ever. ||2||13||44||

31Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

32He has extended His power in all four directions, and placed His hand upon my head.

33Gazing upon me with his Eye of Mercy, He has dispelled the pains of His slave. ||1||

34The Guru, the Lord of the Universe, has saved the Lord's humble servant.

35Hugging me close in His embrace, the merciful, forgiving Lord has erased all my sins. ||Pause||

36Whatever I ask for from my Lord and Master, he gives that to me.

37Whatever the Lord's slave Nanak utters with his mouth, proves to be true, here and hereafter. ||2||14||45||
