1You are the all-powerful Cause of causes.

2Please cover my faults, Lord of the Universe, O my Guru; I am a sinner - I seek the Sanctuary of Your Feet. ||1||Pause||

3Whatever we do, You see and know; there is no way anyone can stubbornly deny this.

4Your glorious radiance is great! So I have heard, O God. Millions of sins are destroyed by Your Name. ||1||

5It is my nature to make mistakes, forever and ever; it is Your Natural Way to save sinners.

6You are the embodiment of kindness, and the treasure of compassion, O Merciful Lord; through the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, Nanak has found the state of redemption in life. ||2||2||118||

7Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

8Bless me with such mercy, Lord,

9that my forehead may touch the feet of the Saints, and my eyes may behold the Blessed Vision of their Darshan, and my body may fall at the dust of their feet. ||1||Pause||

10May the Word of the Guru's Shabad abide within my heart, and the Lord's Name be enshrined within my mind.

11Drive out the five thieves, O my Lord and Master, and let my doubts all burn like incense. ||1||

12Whatever You do, I accept as good; I have driven out the sense of duality.

13You are Nanak's God, the Great Giver; in the Congregation of the Saints, emancipate me. ||2||3||119||

14Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

15I ask for such advice from Your humble servants,

16that I may meditate on You, and love You,

17and serve You, and become part and parcel of Your Being. ||1||Pause||

18I serve His humble servants, and speak with them, and abide with them.

19I apply the dust of the feet of His humble servants to my face and forehead; my hopes, and the many waves of desire, are fulfilled. ||1||

20Immaculate and pure are the praises of the humble servants of the Supreme Lord God; the feet of His humble servants are equal to millions of sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

21Nanak bathes in the dust of the feet of His humble servants; the sinful resides of countless incarnations have been washed away. ||2||4||120||

22Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

23If it pleases You, then cherish me.

24O Supreme Lord God, Transcendent Lord, O True Guru, I am Your child, and You are my Merciful Father. ||1||Pause||

25I am worthless; I have no virtues at all. I cannot understand Your actions.

26You alone know Your state and extent. My soul, body and property are all Yours. ||1||

27You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, the Primal Lord and Master; You know even what is unspoken.

28My body and mind are cooled and soothed, O Nanak, by God's Glance of Grace. ||2||5||121||

29Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

30Keep me with You forever, O God.

31You are my Beloved, the Enticer of my mind; without You, my life is totally useless. ||1||Pause||

32In an instant, You transform the beggar into a king; O my God, You are the Master of the masterless.

33You save Your humble servants from the burning fire; You make them Your own, and with Your Hand, You protect them. ||1||

34I have found peace and cool tranquility, and my mind is satisfied; meditating in remembrance on the Lord, all struggles are ended.

35Service to the Lord, O Nanak, is the treasure of treasures; all other clever tricks are useless. ||2||6||122||
