13He is my friend, companion, child, relative and sibling.

14Wherever I look, I see the Lord as my companion and helper. ||1||

15The Lord's Name is my social status, my honor and wealth.

16He is my pleasure, poise, bliss and peace. ||1||Pause||

17I have strapped on the armor of meditation on the Supreme Lord God.

18It cannot be pierced, even by millions of weapons. ||2||

19The Sanctuary of the Lord's Feet is my fortress and battlement.

20The Messenger of Death, the torturer, cannot demolish it. ||3||

21Slave Nanak is forever a sacrifice

22to the selfless servants and Saints of the Sovereign Lord, the Destroyer of ego. ||4||19||25||

25there is bliss, joy, happiness and peace. ||1||

26Come, O my companions - let us go and enjoy God.

27Let us fall at the feet of the holy, humble beings. ||1||Pause||

28I pray for the dust of the feet of the humble.

29It shall wash away the sins of countless incarnations. ||2||

30I dedicate my mind, body, breath of life and soul to God.

31Remembering the Lord in meditation, I have eradicated pride and emotional attachment. ||3||

32O Lord, O Merciful to the meek, please give me faith and confidence,

33so that slave Nanak may remain absorbed in Your Sanctuary. ||4||20||26||

34Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

35The city of heaven is where the Saints dwell.

36They enshrine the Lotus Feet of God within their hearts. ||1||

37Listen, O my mind and body, and let me show you the way to find peace,

38so that you may eat and enjoy the various delicacies of the Lord||1||Pause||

39Taste the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within your mind.

40Its taste is wondrous - it cannot be described. ||2||

41Your greed shall die, and your thirst shall be quenched.

42The humble beings seek the Sanctuary of the Supreme Lord God. ||3||

43The Lord dispels the fears and attachments of countless incarnations.

44God has showered His Mercy and Grace upon slave Nanak. ||4||21||27||

45Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

46God covers the many shortcomings of His slaves.

47Granting His Mercy, God makes them His own. ||1||

48You emancipate Your humble servant,

49and rescue him from the noose of the world, which is just a dream. ||1||Pause||

50Even huge mountains of sin and corruption

51are removed in an instant by the Merciful Lord. ||2||

52Sorrow, disease and the most terrible calamities

53are removed by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

54Bestowing His Glance of Grace, He attaches us to the hem of His robe.
