1Nanak has entered the Sanctuary of the Destroyer of pain; I behold His Presence deep within, and all around as well. ||2||22||108||

2Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

3Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, all pains run away.

4Please, never leave my vision, O Lord; please abide with my soul. ||1||Pause||

5My Beloved Lord and Master is the Support of the breath of life.

6God, the Inner-knower, is all-pervading. ||1||

7Which of Your Glorious Virtues should I contemplate and remember?

8With each and every breath, O God, I remember You. ||2||

9God is the ocean of mercy, merciful to the meek;

10He cherishes all beings and creatures. ||3||

11Twenty-four hours a day, Your humble servant chants Your Name.

12You Yourself, O God, have inspired Nanak to love You. ||4||23||109||

13Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

14Body, wealth and youth pass away.

15You have not meditated and vibrated upon the Lord's Name; while you commit your sins of corruption in the night, the light of day dawns upon you. ||1||Pause||

16Continually eating all sorts of foods, the teeth in your mouth crumble, decay and fall out.

17Living in egotism and possessiveness, you are deluded; committing sins, you have no kindness for others. ||1||

18The great sins are the terrible ocean of pain; the mortal is engrossed in them.

19Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of his Lord and Master; taking him by the arm, God has lifted him up and out. ||2||24||110||

20Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

21God Himself has come into my consciousness.

22My enemies and opponents have grown weary of attacking me, and now, I have become happy, O my friends and Siblings of Destiny. ||1||Pause||

23The disease is gone, and all misfortunes have been averted; the Creator Lord has made me His own.

24I have found peace, tranquility and total bliss, enshrining the Name of my Beloved Lord within my heart. ||1||

25My soul, body and wealth are all Your capital; O God, You are my All-powerful Lord and Master.

26You are the Saving Grace of Your slaves; slave Nanak is forever Your slave. ||2||25||111||

27Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

28Meditating in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe, I am emancipated.

29Suffering is eradicated, and true peace has come, meditating on the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||1||Pause||

30All beings belong to Him - He makes them happy. He is the true power of His humble devotees.

31He Himself saves and protects His slaves, who believe in their Creator, the Destroyer of fear. ||1||

32I have found friendship, and hatred has been eradicated; the Lord has rooted out the enemies and villains.

33Nanak has been blessed with celestial peace and poise and total bliss; chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, he lives. ||2||26||112||

34Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

35The Supreme Lord God has become Merciful.

36The True Guru has arranged all my affairs; chanting and meditating with the Holy Saints, I have become happy. ||1||Pause||

37God has made me His own, and all my enemies have been reduced to dust.

38He hugs us close in His embrace, and protects His humble servants; attaching us to the hem of His robe, he saves us. ||1||
