1My mind is in love with the Lord's lotus feet; I have met the Beloved Guru, the noble, heroic being.

2Nanak celebrates in bliss; chanting and meditating on the Lord, all sickness has been cured. ||2||10||15||

3Todee, Fifth Mehla, Third House, Chau-Padhay:

4One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

5Oh! Oh! You cling to Maya, you fool; this is not a trivial matter.

6That which you consider to be yours, is not yours. ||Pause||

7You do not remember your Lord, even for an instant.

8That which belongs to others, you believe to be your own. ||1||

9The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is always with you, but you do not enshrine it within your mind.

10You have attached your consciousness to that which you must eventually abandon. ||2||

11You collect that which will bring you only hunger and thirst.

12You have not obtained the supplies of the Ambrosial Naam. ||3||

13You have fallen into the pit of sexual desire, anger and emotional attachment.

14By Guru's Grace, O Nanak, a rare few are saved. ||4||1||16||

15Todee, Fifth Mehla:

16I have only the One Lord, my God.

17I do not recognize any other. ||Pause||

18By great good fortune, I have found my Guru.

19The Guru has implanted the Name of the Lord within me. ||1||

20The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is my meditation, austerity, fasting and daily religious practice.

21Meditating on the Lord, Har, Har, I have found total joy and bliss. ||2||

22The Praises of the Lord are my good conduct, occupation and social class.

23Listening to the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises, I am in absolute ecstasy. ||3||

24Says Nanak, everything comes to the homes of those who have found their Lord and Master. ||4||2||17||

25Todee, Fifth Mehla, Fourth House, Dho-Padhay:

26One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

27My beautiful mind longs for the Love of the Lord.

28By mere words, the Lord's Love does not come. ||Pause||

29I have searched for the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, looking in each and every street.

30Meeting with the Guru, my doubts have been dispelled. ||1||

31I have obtained this wisdom from the Holy Saints, according to the pre-ordained destiny inscribed upon my forehead.

32In this way, Nanak has seen the Lord with his eyes. ||2||1||18||

33Todee, Fifth Mehla:

34My foolish heart is in the grip of pride.

35By the Will of my Lord God, Maya, like a witch, has swallowed my soul. ||Pause||

36More and more, he continually yearns for more; but unless he is destined to receive, how can he obtain it?

37He is entangled in wealth, bestowed by the Lord God; the unfortunate one attaches himself to the fire of desires. ||1||

38Listen, O mind, to the Teachings of the Holy Saints, and all your sins shall be totally washed away.

39One who is destined to receive from the Lord, O servant Nanak, shall not be cast into the womb of reincarnation again. ||2||2||19||
