1Gond, Fifth Mehla:

2Deal and trade only with the Lord, Raam, Raam.

3The Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam, is the Support of the breath of life.

4Sing the Kirtan of the Praises of the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam.

5The Lord is ever-present, all-pervading. ||1||

6Joining the humble Saints, chant the Lord's Name.

7This is the most immaculate and perfect occupation of all. ||1||Pause||

8Gather the treasure, the wealth of the Lord, Raam, Raam.

9Let your sustenance be the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam.

10Never forget the Lord, Raam, Raam.

11In His Mercy, the Guru has revealed this to me. ||2||

12The Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam, is always our help and support.

13Embrace love for the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam.

14Through the Lord, Raam, Raam, Raam, I have become immaculate.

15The sins of countless incarnations have been taken away. ||3||

16Uttering the Lord's Name, birth and death are finished.

17Repeating the Lord's Name, one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean.

18The Luminous Lord is the highest of all.

19Night and day, servant Nanak meditates on Him. ||4||8||10||

20Gond, Fifth Mehla:

21My Lord and Master has held back the five demons.

22He conquered them, and scared them away from the Lord's slave.

23They cannot find the mansion of the Lord's devotee.

24Joining together, the Lord's humble servants sing the songs of joy. ||1||

25The five demons are the rulers of the whole world,

26but they are just water-carriers for the Lord's devotee. ||1||Pause||

27They collect taxes from the world,

28but they bow in subservience to God's devotees.

29They plunder and dishonor the faithless cynics,

30but they massage and wash the feet of the Holy. ||2||

31The One Mother gave birth to the five sons,

32and began the play of the created world.

33With the three qualities joined together, they celebrate.

34Renouncing these three qualities, the Lord's humble servants rise above them. ||3||

35In His Mercy, He saves His humble servants.

36They belong to Him, and so He saves them by driving out the five.

37Says Nanak, devotion to God is noble and sublime.

38Without devotion, all just waste away uselessly. ||4||9||11||

39Gond, Fifth Mehla:

40Suffering and troubles are eradicated by the Lord's Name.

41Pain is dispelled, and peace takes its place.

42Meditating, chanting the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord, I am satisfied.

43By the Grace of the Saints, I have received all fruitful rewards. ||1||

44Meditating on the Lord, His humble servant is carried across,

45and the sins of countless incarnations are taken away. ||1||Pause||

46I have enshrined the Guru's feet within my heart,

47and crossed over the ocean of fire.

48All the painful diseases of birth and death have been eradicated.

49I am attached to God in celestial Samaadhi. ||2||

50In all places and interspaces, the One, our Lord and Master is contained.

51He is the Inner-knower of all hearts.

52One whom the Lord blesses with understanding,

53chants the Name of God, twenty-four hours a day. ||3||

54Deep within, God Himself abides;

55within his heart, the Divine Light shines forth.

56With loving devotion, sing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises.

57Meditate on the Supreme Lord God, O Nanak, and you shall be saved. ||4||10||12||
