1You Yourself created the Universe;

2You created the play of duality, and staged it.

3The Truest of the True is pervading everywhere; He instructs those with whom He is pleased. ||20||

4By Guru's Grace, I have found God.

5By His Grace, I have shed emotional attachment to Maya.

6Showering His Mercy, He has blended me into Himself. ||21||

7You are the Gopis, the milk-maids of Krishna; You are the sacred river Jamunaa; You are Krishna, the herdsman.

8You Yourself support the world.

9By Your Command, human beings are fashioned. You Yourself embellish them, and then again destroy them. ||22||

10Those who have focused their consciousness on the True Guru

11have rid themselves of the love of duality.

12The light of those mortal beings is immaculate. They depart after redeeming their lives. ||23||

13Forever and ever, night and day, I praise the Greatness of Your Goodness.

14You bestow Your Gifts, even if we do not ask for them. Says Nanak, contemplate the True Lord. ||24||1||

15Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla:

16I fall at His Feet to please and appease Him.

17The True Guru has united me with the Lord, the Primal Being. There is no other as great as He. ||1||Pause||

18The Lord of the Universe is my Sweet Beloved.

19He is sweeter than my mother or father.

20Among all sisters and brothers and friends, there is no one like You. ||1||

21By Your Command, the month of Saawan has come.

22I have hooked up the plow of Truth,

23and I plant the seed of the Name in hopes that the Lord, in His Generosity, will bestow a bountiful harvest. ||2||

24Meeting with the Guru, I recognize only the One Lord.

25In my consciousness, I do not know of any other account.

26The Lord has assigned one task to me; as it pleases Him, I perform it. ||3||

27Enjoy yourselves and eat, O Siblings of Destiny.

28In the Guru's Court, He has blessed me with the Robe of Honor.

29I have become the Master of my body-village; I have taken the five rivals as prisoners. ||4||

30I have come to Your Sanctuary.

31The five farm-hands have become my tenants;

32none dare to raise their heads against me. O Nanak, my village is populous and prosperous. ||5||

33I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to You.

34I meditate on You continually.

35The village was in ruins, but You have re-populated it. I am a sacrifice to You. ||6||

36O Beloved Lord, I meditate on You continually;

37I obtain the fruits of my mind's desires.

38All my affairs are arranged, and the hunger of my mind is appeased. ||7||

39I have forsaken all my entanglements;

40I serve the True Lord of the Universe.

41I have firmly attached the Name, the Home of the Nine Treasures to my robe. ||8||

42I have obtained the comfort of comforts.

43The Guru has implanted the Word of the Shabad deep within me.

44The True Guru has shown me my Husband Lord; He has placed His Hand upon my forehead. ||9||

45I have established the Temple of Truth.

46I sought out the Guru's Sikhs, and brought them into it.

47I wash their feet, and wave the fan over them. Bowing low, I fall at their feet. ||10||
