1Shalok:

2Whatever I wish for, that I receive.

3Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, Nanak has found total peace. ||4||

4Chhant:

5My mind is now emancipated; I have joined the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

6As Gurmukh, I chant the Naam, and my light has merged into the Light.

7Remembering the Lord's Name in meditation, my sins have been erased; the fire has been extinguished, and I am satisfied.

8He has taken me by the arm, and blessed me with His kind mercy; He has accepted me His own.

9The Lord has hugged me in His embrace, and merged me with Himself; the pains of birth and death have been burnt away.

10Prays Nanak, He has blessed me with His kind mercy; in an instant, He unites me with Himself. ||4||2||

11Jaitsree, Chhant, Fifth Mehla:

12The world is like a temporary way-station, but it is filled with pride.

13People commit countless sins; they are dyed in the color of the love of Maya.

14In greed, emotional attachment and egotism, they are drowning; they do not even think of dying.

15Children, friends, worldly occupations and spouses - they talk of these things, while their lives are passing away.

16When their pre-ordained days have run their course, O mother, they behold the Messengers of the Righteous Judge of Dharma, and they suffer.

17The karma of their past deeds cannot be erased, O Nanak, if they have not earned the wealth of the Lord's Name. ||1||

18He makes all sorts of efforts, but he does not sing the Lord's Name.

19He wanders around in countless incarnations; he dies, only to be born again.

20As beasts, birds, stones and trees - their number cannot be known.

21As are the seeds he plants, so are the pleasures he enjoys; he receives the consequences of his own actions.

22He loses the jewel of this human life in the gamble, and God is not pleased with him at all.

23Prays Nanak, wandering in doubt, he does not find any rest, even for an instant. ||2||

24Youth has passed, and old age has taken its place.

25The hands tremble, the head shakes, and the eyes do not see.

26The eyes do not see, without vibrating and meditating on the Lord; he must leave behind the attractions of Maya, and depart.

27He burnt his mind and body for his relatives, but now, they do not listen to him, and they throw dust on his head.

28Love for the infinite, Perfect Lord does not abide in his mind, even for an instant.

29Prays Nanak, the fort of paper is false - it is destroyed in an instant. ||3||

30Nanak has come to the Sanctuary of the Lord's lotus feet.

31God Himself has carried Him across the impassable, terrifying world-ocean.

32Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I vibrate and meditate on the Lord; God has made me His own, and saved me.

33The Lord has approved of me, and blessed me with His Name; He did not take anything else into consideration.

34I have found the infinite Lord and Master, the treasure of virtue, which my mind had yearned for.

35Prays Nanak, I am satisfied forever; I have eaten the food of the Lord's Name. ||4||2||3||

36Jaitsree, Fifth Mehla, Vaar With Shaloks:

37One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

38Shalok:

39In the beginning, He was pervading; in the middle, He is pervading; in the end, He will be pervading. He is the Transcendent Lord.

40The Saints remember in meditation the all-pervading Lord God. O Nanak, He is the Destroyer of sins, the Lord of the universe. ||1||
