1Gond, Fifth Mehla:

2I am a sacrifice to the Saints.

3Associating with the Saints, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

4By the Grace of the Saints, all the sins are taken away.

5By great good fortune, one finds the Sanctuary of the Saints. ||1||

6Meditating on the Lord, no obstacles will block your way.

7By Guru's Grace, meditate on God. ||1||Pause||

8When the Supreme Lord God becomes merciful,

9he makes me the dust of the feet of the Holy.

10Sexual desire and anger leave his body,

11and the Lord, the jewel, comes to dwell in his mind. ||2||

12Fruitful and approved is the life of one

13who knows the Supreme Lord God to be close.

14One who is committed to loving devotional worship of God, and the Kirtan of His Praises,

15awakens from the sleep of countless incarnations. ||3||

16The Lord's Lotus Feet are the Support of His humble servant.

17To chant the Praises of the Lord of the Universe is the true trade.

18Please fulfill the hopes of Your humble slave.

19Nanak finds peace in the dust of the feet of the humble. ||4||20||22||6||28||

20Raag Gond, Ashtpadheeyaa, Fifth Mehla, Second House:

21One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

22Humbly bow to the Perfect Divine Guru.

23Fruitful is His image, and fruitful is service to Him.

24He is the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, the Architect of Destiny.

25Twenty-four hours a day, he remains imbued with the love of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

26The Guru is the Lord of the Universe, the Guru is the Lord of the World.

27He is the Saving Grace of His slaves. ||1||Pause||

28He satisfies the kings, emperors and nobles.

29He destroys the egotistical villains.

30He puts illness into the mouths of the slanderers.

31All the people celebrate His victory. ||2||

32Supreme bliss fills the minds of the Saints.

33The Saints meditate on the Divine Guru, the Lord God.

34The faces of His companions become radiant and bright.

35The slanderers lose all places of rest. ||3||

36With each and every breath, the Lord's humble slaves praise Him.

37The Supreme Lord God and the Guru are care-free.

38All fears are eradicated, in His Sanctuary.

39Smashing all the slanderers, the Lord knocks them to the ground. ||4||

40Let no one slander the Lord's humble servants.

41Whoever does so, will be miserable.

42Twenty-four hours a day, the Lord's humble servant meditates on Him alone.

43The Messenger of Death does not even approach him. ||5||

44The Lord's humble servant has no vengeance. The slanderer is egotistical.

45The Lord's humble servant wishes well, while the slanderer dwells on evil.

46The Sikh of the Guru meditates on the True Guru.

47The Lord's humble servants are saved, while the slanderer is cast into hell. ||6||

48Listen, O my beloved friends and companions:

49these words shall be true in the Court of the Lord.

50As you plant, so shall you harvest.

51The proud, egotistical person will surely be uprooted. ||7||

52O True Guru, You are the Support of the unsupported.

53Be merciful, and save Your humble servant.

54Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru;

55remembering Him in meditation, my honor has been saved. ||8||1||29||
