1Come, and join together, O my companions; let's sing the Glorious Praises of my God, and follow the comforting advice of the True Guru.. ||3||

2Please fulfill the hopes of servant Nanak, O Lord; his body finds peace and tranquility in the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||4||6||

3First set of six. ||

4Raag Gond, Fifth Mehla, Chau-Padhay, First House:

5One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

6He is the Creator of all, He is the Enjoyer of all. ||1||Pause||

7The Creator listens, and the Creator sees.

8The Creator is unseen, and the Creator is seen.

9The Creator forms, and the Creator destroys.

10The Creator touches, and the Creator is detached. ||1||

11The Creator is the One who speaks, and the Creator is the One who understands.

12The Creator comes, and the Creator also goes.

13The Creator is absolute and without qualities; the Creator is related, with the most excellent qualities.

14By Guru's Grace, Nanak looks upon all the same. ||2||1||

15Gond, Fifth Mehla:

16You are caught, like the fish and the monkey; you are entangled in the transitory world.

17Your foot-steps and your breaths are numbered; only by singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord will you be saved. ||1||

18O mind, reform yourself, and forsake your aimless wandering.

19You have found no place of rest for yourself; so why do you try to teach others? ||1||Pause||

20Like the elephant, driven by sexual desire, you are attached to your family.

21People are like birds that come together, and fly apart again; you shall become stable and steady, only when you meditate on the Lord, Har, Har, in the Company of the Holy. ||2||

22Like the fish, which perishes because of its desire to taste, the fool is ruined by his greed.

23You have fallen under the power of the five thieves; escape is only possible in the Sanctuary of the Lord. ||3||

24Be Merciful to me, O Destroyer of the pains of the meek; all beings and creatures belong to You.

25May I obtain the gift of always seeing the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; meeting with You, Nanak is the slave of Your slaves. ||4||2||

26Raag Gond, Fifth Mehla, Chau-Padhay, Second House:

27One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

28He fashioned the soul and the breath of life,

29and infused His Light into the dust;

30He exalted you and gave you everything to use, and food to eat and enjoy

31- how can you forsake that God, you fool! Where else will you go? ||1||

32Commit yourself to the service of the Transcendent Lord.

33Through the Guru, one understands the Immaculate, Divine Lord. ||1||Pause||

34He created plays and dramas of all sorts;

35He creates and destroys in an instant;

36His state and condition cannot be described.

37Meditate forever on that God, O my mind. ||2||

38The unchanging Lord does not come or go.

39His Glorious Virtues are infinite; how many of them can I count?
