1Grasping the Lord's Feet, O Nanak, we enter His Sanctuary. ||4||22||28||

2Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

3One who withdraws from God's Path, and attaches himself to the world,

4is known as a sinner in both worlds. ||1||

5He alone is approved, who pleases the Lord.

6Only He Himself knows His creative omnipotence. ||1||Pause||

7One who practices truth, righteous living, charity and good deeds,

8has the supplies for God's Path. Worldly success shall not fail him. ||2||

9Within and among all, the One Lord is awake.

10As He attaches us, so are we attached. ||3||

11You are inaccessible and unfathomable, O my True Lord and Master.

12Nanak speaks as You inspire him to speak. ||4||23||29||

13Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

14In the early hours of the morning, I chant the Lord's Name.

15I have fashioned a shelter for myself, here and hereafter. ||1||

16Forever and ever, I chant the Lord's Name,

17and the desires of my mind are fulfilled. ||1||Pause||

18Sing the Praises of the Eternal, Imperishable Lord God, night and day.

19In life, and in death, you shall find your eternal, unchanging home. ||2||

20So serve the Sovereign Lord, and you shall never lack anything.

21While eating and consuming, you shall pass your life in peace. ||3||

22O Life of the World, O Primal Being, I have found the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

23By Guru's Grace, O Nanak, I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||24||30||

24Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

25When the Perfect Guru becomes merciful,

26my pains are taken away, and my works are perfectly completed. ||1||

27Gazing upon, beholding the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, I live;

28I am a sacrifice to Your Lotus Feet.

29Without You, O my Lord and Master, who belongs to me? ||1||Pause||

30I have fallen in love with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy,

31by the karma of my past actions and my pre-ordained destiny. ||2||

32Chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; how wondrous is His glory!

33The three types of illness cannot consume it. ||3||

34May I never forget, even for an instant, the Lord's Feet.

35Nanak begs for this gift, O my Beloved. ||4||25||31||

36Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

37May there be such an auspicious time, O my Beloved,

38when, with my tongue, I may chant the Lord's Name||1||

39Hear my prayer, O God, O Merciful to the meek.

40The Holy Saints ever sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, the Source of Nectar. ||1||Pause||

41Your meditation and remembrance is life-giving, God.

42You dwell near those upon whom You show mercy. ||2||

43Your Name is the food to satisfy the hunger of Your humble servants.

44You are the Great Giver, O Lord God. ||3||

45The Saints take pleasure in repeating the Lord's Name.

46O Nanak, the Lord, the Great Giver, is All-knowing. ||4||26||32||

47Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

48Your life is slipping away, but you never even notice.

49You are constantly entangled in false attachments and conflicts. ||1||

50Meditate, vibrate constantly, day and night, on the Lord.

51You shall be victorious in this priceless human life, in the Protection of the Lord's Sanctuary. ||1||Pause||

52You eagerly commit sins and practice corruption, but you do not enshrine the jewel of the Lord's Name within your heart, even for an instant. ||2||

53Feeding and pampering your body, your life is passing away,
