1What can any wretched creature do to me? The radiance of my God is gloriously great. ||1||

2Meditating, meditating, meditating in remembrance, I have found peace; I have enshrined His Lotus Feet within my mind.

3Slave Nanak has entered His Sanctuary; there is none above Him. ||2||12||98||

4Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

5Forever and ever, chant the Name of God.

6The pains of old age and death shall not afflict you, and in the Court of the Lord hereafter, your affairs shall be perfectly resolved. ||1||Pause||

7So forsake your self-conceit, and ever seek Sanctuary. This treasure is obtained only from the Guru.

8The noose of birth and death is snapped; this is the insignia, the hallmark, of the Court of the True Lord. ||1||

9Whatever You do, I accept as good. I have eradicated all egotistical pride from my mind.

10Says Nanak, I am under His protection; He created the entire Universe. ||2||13||99||

11Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

12Deep within the nucleus of his mind and body, is God.

13He continually sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and always does good for others; his tongue is priceless. ||1||Pause||

14All his generations are redeemed and saved in an instant, and the filth of countless incarnations is washed away.

15Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God, his Lord and Master, he passes blissfully through the forest of poison. ||1||

16I have obtained the boat of God's Feet, to carry me across the terrifying world-ocean.

17The Saints, servants and devotees belong to the Lord; Nanak's mind is attached to Him. ||2||14||100||

18Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

19I am reassured, gazing upon Your wondrous play.

20You are my Lord and Master, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts; You dwell with the Holy Saints. ||1||Pause||

21In an instant, our Lord and Master establishes and exalts. From a lowly worm, He creates a king. ||1||

22May I never forget You from my heart; slave Nanak prays for this blessing. ||2||15||101||

23Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

24The imperishable Lord God is worthy of worship and adoration.

25Dedicating my mind and body, I place them before the Lord, the Cherisher of all beings. ||1||Pause||

26His Sanctuary is All-powerful; He cannot be described; He is the Giver of peace, the ocean of mercy, supremely compassionate.

27Holding him close in His embrace, the Lord protects and saves him, and then even the hot wind cannot touch him. ||1||

28Our Merciful Lord and Master is wealth, property and everything to His humble Saints.

29Nanak, a beggar, asks for the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan; please, bless him with the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||2||16||102||

30Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

31Meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is equal to millions of efforts.

32Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and the Messenger of Death will be frightened away. ||1||Pause||

33To enshrine the Feet of God in one's mind and body, is to perform all sorts of acts of atonement.

34Coming and going, doubt and fear have run away, and the sins of countless incarnations are burnt away. ||1||

35So become fearless, and vibrate upon the Lord of the Universe. This is true wealth, obtained only by great good fortune.
