1One who, as Gurmukh, chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is saved. In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, O Nanak, God is permeating the hearts of each and every being. ||4||3||50||

2Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

3Whatever God causes to happen is accepted, by those who are attuned to the Love of the Lord's Name.

4Those who fall at the Feet of God are respected everywhere. ||1||

5O my Lord, no one is as great as the Lord's Saints.

6The devotees are in harmony with their God; He is in the water, the land, and the sky. ||1||Pause||

7Millions of sinners have been saved in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; the Messenger of Death does not even approach them.

8Those who have been separated from the Lord, for countless incarnations, are reunited with the Lord again. ||2||

9Attachment to Maya, doubt and fear are eradicated, when one enters the Sanctuary of the Saints.

10Whatever wishes one harbors, are obtained from the Saints. ||3||

11How can I describe the glory of the Lord's humble servants? They are pleasing to their God.

12Says Nanak, those who meet the True Guru, become independent of all obligations. ||4||4||51||

13Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

14Giving me Your Hand, You saved me from the terrible fire, when I sought Your Sanctuary.

15Deep within my heart, I respect Your strength; I have abandoned all other hopes. ||1||

16O my Sovereign Lord, when You enter my consciousness, I am saved.

17You are my support. I count on You. Meditating on You, I am saved. ||1||Pause||

18You pulled me up out of the deep, dark pit. You have become merciful to me.

19You care for me, and bless me with total peace; You Yourself cherish me. ||2||

20The Transcendent Lord has blessed me with His Glance of Grace; breaking my bonds, He has delivered me.

21God Himself inspires me to worship Him; He Himself inspires me to serve Him. ||3||

22My doubts have gone, my fears and infatuations have been dispelled, and all my sorrows are gone.

23O Nanak, the Lord, the Giver of peace has been merciful to me. I have met the Perfect True Guru. ||4||5||52||

24Soohee, Fifth Mehla:

25When nothing existed, what deeds were being done? And what karma caused anyone to be born at all?

26The Lord Himself set His play in motion, and He Himself beholds it. He created the Creation. ||1||

27O my Sovereign Lord, I cannot do anything at all by myself.

28He Himself is the Creator, He Himself is the Cause. He is pervading deep within all. ||1||Pause||

29If my account were to be judged, I would never be saved. My body is transitory and ignorant.

30Take pity upon me, O Creator Lord God; Your Forgiving Grace is singular and unique. ||2||

31You created all beings and creatures. Each and every heart meditates on You.

32Your condition and expanse are known only to You; the value of Your creative omnipotence cannot be estimated. ||3||

33I am worthless, foolish, thoughtless and ignorant. I know nothing about good actions and righteous living.

34Take pity on Nanak, that he may sing Your Glorious Praises; and that Your Will may seem sweet to him. ||4||6||53||
