1Whatever I ask for, I receive; I serve at the Lord's feet, the source of nectar.

2I am released from the bondage of birth and death, and so I cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||

3Searching and seeking, I have come to understand the essence of reality; the slave of the Lord of the Universe is dedicated to Him.

4If you desire eternal bliss, O Nanak, ever remember the Lord in meditation. ||2||5||10||

5Todee, Fifth Mehla:

6The slanderer, by Guru's Grace, has been turned away.

7The Supreme Lord God has become merciful; with Shiva's arrow, He shot his head off. ||1||Pause||

8Death, and the noose of death, cannot see me; I have adopted the Path of Truth.

9I have earned the wealth, the jewel of the Lord's Name; eating and spending, it is never used up. ||1||

10In an instant, the slanderer was reduced to ashes; he received the rewards of his own actions.

11Servant Nanak speaks the truth of the scriptures; the whole world is witness to it. ||2||6||11||

12Todee, Fifth Mehla:

13O miser, your body and mind are full of sin.

14In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, vibrate, meditate on the Lord and Master; He alone can cover your sins. ||1||Pause||

15When many holes appear in your boat, you cannot plug them with your hands.

16Worship and adore the One, to whom your boat belongs; He saves the counterfeit along with the genuine. ||1||

17People want to lift up the mountain with mere words, but it just stays there.

18Nanak has no strength or power at all; O God, please protect me - I seek Your Sanctuary. ||2||7||12||

19Todee, Fifth Mehla:

20Meditate on the lotus feet of the Lord within your mind.

21The Name of the Lord is the medicine; it is like an axe, which destroys the diseases caused by anger and egotism. ||1||Pause||

22The Lord is the One who removes the three fevers; He is the Destroyer of pain, the warehouse of peace.

23No obstacles block the path of one who prays before God. ||1||

24By the Grace of the Saints, the Lord has become my physician; God alone is the Doer, the Cause of causes.

25He is the Giver of perfect peace to the innocent-minded people; O Nanak, the Lord, Har, Har, is my support. ||2||8||13||

26Todee, Fifth Mehla:

27Chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, forever and ever.

28Showering His Kind Mercy, the Supreme Lord God Himself has blessed the town. ||1||Pause||

29The One who owns me, has again taken care of me; my sorrow and suffering is past.

30He gave me His hand, and saved me, His humble servant; the Lord is my mother and father. ||1||

31All beings and creatures have become kind to me; my Lord and Master blessed me with His Kind Mercy.

32Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Lord, the Destroyer of pain; His glory is so great! ||2||9||14||

33Todee, Fifth Mehla:

34O Lord and Master, I seek the Sanctuary of Your Court.

35Destroyer of millions of sins, O Great Giver, other than You, who else can save me? ||1||Pause||

36Searching, searching in so many ways, I have contemplated all the objects of life.

37In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the supreme state is attained. But those who are engrossed in the bondage of Maya, lose the game of life. ||1||
