1One whose mind is imbued with the Lord's lotus feet

2is not afflicted by the fire of sorrow. ||2||

3He crosses over the world-ocean in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

4He chants the Name of the Fearless Lord, and is imbued with the Lord's Love. ||3||

5One who does not steal the wealth of others, who does not commit evil deeds or sinful acts

6- the Messenger of Death does not even approach him. ||4||

7God Himself quenches the fires of desire.

8O Nanak, in God's Sanctuary, one is saved. ||5||1||55||

9Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

10I am satisfied and satiated, eating the food of Truth.

11With my mind, body and tongue, I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

12Life, spiritual life, is in the Lord.

13Spiritual life consists of chanting the Lord's Name in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause||

14He is dressed in robes of all sorts,

15if he sings the Kirtan of the Lord's Glorious Praises, day and night. ||2||

16He rides upon elephants, chariots and horses,

17if he sees the Lord's Path within his own heart. ||3||

18Meditating on the Lord's Feet, deep within his mind and body,

19slave Nanak has found the Lord, the treasure of peace. ||4||2||56||

20Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

21The Guru's feet emancipate the soul.

22They carry it across the world-ocean in an instant. ||1||Pause||

23Some love rituals, and some bathe at sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

24The Lord's slaves meditate on His Name. ||1||

25The Lord Master is the Breaker of bonds.

26Servant Nanak meditates in remembrance on the Lord, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||2||3||57||

27Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

28The lifestyle of Your slave is so pure, that nothing can break his love for You. ||1||Pause||

29He is more dear to me than my soul, my breath of life, my mind and my wealth.

30The Lord is the Giver, the Restrainer of the ego. ||1||

31I am in love with the Lord's lotus feet.

32This alone is Nanak's prayer. ||2||4||58||

33One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

34Dhanaasaree, Ninth Mehla:

35Why do you go looking for Him in the forest?

36Although he is unattached, he dwells everywhere. He is always with you as your companion. ||1||Pause||

37Like the fragrance which remains in the flower, and like the reflection in the mirror,

38the Lord dwells deep within; search for Him within your own heart, O Siblings of Destiny. ||1||

39Outside and inside, know that there is only the One Lord; the Guru has imparted this wisdom to me.

40O servant Nanak, without knowing one's own self, the moss of doubt is not removed. ||2||1||

41Dhanaasaree, Ninth Mehla:

42O Holy people, this world is deluded by doubt.

43It has forsaken the meditative remembrance of the Lord's Name, and sold itself out to Maya. ||1||Pause||

44Mother, father, siblings, children and spouse - he is entangled in their love.
