1By my past actions, I have found the Lord, the Greatest Lover. Separated from Him for so long, I am united with Him again.

2Inside and out, He is pervading everywhere. Faith in Him has welled up within my mind.

3Nanak gives this advice: O beloved mind, let the Society of the Saints be your dwelling. ||4||

4O dear beloved mind, my friend, let your mind remain absorbed in loving devotion to the Lord.

5O dear beloved mind, my friend, the fish of the mind lives only when it is immersed in the Water of the Lord.

6Drinking in the Lord's Ambrosial Bani, the mind is satisfied, and all pleasures come to abide within.

7Attaining the Lord of Excellence, I sing the Songs of Joy. The True Guru, becoming merciful, has fulfilled my desires.

8He has attached me to the hem of His robe, and I have obtained the nine treasures. My Lord and Master has bestowed His Name, which is everything to me.

9Nanak instructs the Saints to teach, that the mind is imbued with loving devotion to the Lord. ||5||1||2||

10Chhants Of Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla:

11One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

12Dakhanaa:

13My Beloved Husband Lord is deep within my heart. How can I see Him?

14In the Sanctuary of the Saints, O Nanak, the Support of the breath of life is found. ||1||

15Chhant:

16To love the Lotus Feet of the Lord-this way of life has come into the minds of His Saints.

17The love of duality, this evil practice, this bad habit, is not liked by the Lord's slaves.

18It is not pleasing to the Lord's slaves; without the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, how can they find peace, even for a moment?

19Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the body and mind are empty; like fish out of water, they die.

20Please meet with me, O my Beloved-You are the Support of my breath of life. Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I sing Your Glorious Praises.

21O Lord and Master of Nanak, please grant Your Grace, and permeate my body, mind and being. ||1||

22Dakhanaa:

23He is Beautiful in all places; I do not see any other at all.

24Meeting with the True Guru, O Nanak, the doors are opened wide. ||1||

25Chhant:

26Your Word is Incomparable and Infinite. I contemplate the Word of Your Bani, the Support of the Saints.

27I remember Him in meditation with every breath and morsel of food, with perfect faith. How could I forget Him from my mind?

28How could I forget Him from my mind, even for an instant? He is the Most Worthy; He is my very life!

29My Lord and Master is the Giver of the fruits of the mind's desires. He knows all the useless vanities and pains of the soul.

30Meditating on the Patron of lost souls, the Companion of all, your life shall not be lost in the gamble.

31Nanak offers this prayer to God: Please shower me with Your Mercy, and carry me across the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||

32Dakhanaa:

33People bathe in the dust of the feet of the Saints, when the Lord becomes merciful.

34I have obtained all things, O Nanak; the Lord is my Wealth and Property. ||1||

35Chhant:

36My Lord and Master's Home is beautiful. It is the resting place of His devotees, who live in hopes of attaining it.

37Their minds and bodies are absorbed in meditation on the Name of God; they drink in the Lord's Ambrosial Nectar.
