1Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

2Never forget Your servant, O Lord.

3Hug me close in Your embrace, O God, my Lord and Master; consider my primal love for You, O Lord of the Universe. ||1||Pause||

4It is Your Natural Way, God, to purify sinners; please do not keep my errors in Your Heart.

5You are my life, my breath of life, O Lord, my wealth and peace; be merciful to me, and burn away the curtain of egotism. ||1||

6Without water, how can the fish survive? Without milk, how can the baby survive?

7Servant Nanak thirsts for the Lord's Lotus Feet; gazing upon the Blessed Vision of his Lord and Master's Darshan, he finds the essence of peace. ||2||7||123||

8Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

9Here, and hereafter, there is happiness.

10The Perfect Guru has perfectly, totally saved me; the Supreme Lord God has been kind to me. ||1||Pause||

11The Lord, my Beloved, is pervading and permeating my mind and body; all my pains and sufferings are dispelled.

12In celestial peace, tranquility and bliss, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; my enemies and adversaries have been totally destroyed. ||1||

13God has not considered my merits and demerits; in His Mercy, He has made me His own.

14Unweighable is the greatness of the immovable and imperishable Lord; Nanak proclaims the victory of the Lord. ||2||8||124||

15Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

16Without the Fear of God, and devotional worship, how can anyone cross over the world-ocean?

17Be kind to me, O Saving Grace of sinners; preserve my faith in You, O my Lord and Master. ||1||Pause||

18The mortal does not remember the Lord in meditation; he wanders around intoxicated by egotism; he is engrossed in corruption like a dog.

19Utterly cheated, his life is slipping away; committing sins, he is sinking away. ||1||

20I have come to Your Sanctuary, Destroyer of pain; O Primal Immaculate Lord, may I dwell upon You in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

21O Lord of beautiful hair, Destroyer of pain, Eradicator of sins, Nanak lives, gazing upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. ||2||9||125||

22Raag Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla, Dho-Padhay, Ninth House:

23One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

24He Himself merges us with Himself.

25When I came to Your Sanctuary, my sins vanished. ||1||Pause||

26Renouncing egotistical pride and other anxieties, I have sought the Sanctuary of the Holy Saints.

27Chanting, meditating on Your Name, O my Beloved, disease is eradicated from my body. ||1||

28Even utterly foolish, ignorant and thoughtless persons have been saved by the Kind Lord.

29Says Nanak, I have met the Perfect Guru; my comings and goings have ended. ||2||1||126||

30Bilaaval, Fifth Mehla:

31Hearing Your Name, I live.

32When the Perfect Guru became pleased with me, then my hopes were fulfilled. ||1||Pause||

33Pain is gone, and my mind is comforted; the music of bliss fascinates me.

34The yearning to meet my Beloved God has welled up within me. I cannot live without Him, even for an instant. ||1||
