1If you hear the Naam, the Name of the Lord, you feel like you have been stung by a scorpion. ||2||

2You continually yearn for Maya,

3and you never chant the Lord's Praises with your mouth.

4The Lord is fearless and formless; He is the Great Giver.

5But you do not love Him, you fool! ||3||

6God, the True King, is above the heads of all kings.

7He is the independent, perfect Lord King.

8People are intoxicated by emotional attachment, entangled in doubt and family life.

9Nanak: they are saved only by Your Mercy, Lord. ||4||21||32||

10Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

11Night and day, I chant the Lord's Name.

12Hereafter, I shall obtain a seat in the Court of the Lord.

13I am in bliss forever; I have no sorrow.

14The disease of ego never afflicts me. ||1||

15O Saints of the Lord, seek out those who know God.

16You shall be wonderstruck with wonder at the wonderful Lord; meditate in remembrance on the Lord, O mortal, and obtain the supreme status. ||1||Pause||

17Calculating, measuring, and thinking in every way,

18see that without the Naam, no one can be carried across.

19Of all your efforts, none will go along with you.

20You can cross over the terrifying world-ocean only through the love of God. ||2||

21By merely washing the body, one's filth is not removed.

22Afflicted by egotism, duality only increases.

23That humble being who takes the medicine of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har

24- all his diseases are eradicated. ||3||

25Take pity on me, O merciful, Supreme Lord God;

26let me never forget the Lord of the World from my mind.

27Let me be the dust of the feet of Your slaves;

28O God, please fulfill Nanak's hope. ||4||22||33||

29Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

30You are my Protection, O perfect Divine Guru.

31There is no other than You.

32You are all-powerful, O perfect Supreme Lord God.

33He alone meditates on You, whose karma is perfect. ||1||

34You Name, God, is the boat to carry us across.

35My mind has grasped Your protection alone. Other than You, I have no place of rest at all. ||1||Pause||

36Chanting, meditating on Your Name, I live,

37and hereafter, I will obtain a seat in the Court of the Lord.

38Pain and darkness are gone from my mind;

39my evil-mindedness is dispelled, and I am absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||2||

40I have enshrined love for the Lord's lotus feet.

41The lifestyle of the Perfect Guru is immaculate and pure.

42My fear has run away, and the fearless Lord dwells within my mind.

43My tongue continually chants the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

44The nooses of millions of incarnations are cut away.

45I have obtained the profit of the true wealth.

46This treasure is inexhaustible; it will never run out.

47O Nanak, the devotees look beautiful in the Court of the Lord. ||4||23||34||

48Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

49The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is a jewel, a ruby.

50It brings Truth, contentment and spiritual wisdom.

51The Lord entrusts the treasures of peace, intuition and kindness to His devotees. ||1||

52This is the treasure of my Lord.

53Consuming and expending it, it is never used up. The Lord has no end or limitation. ||1||Pause||

54The Kirtan of the Lord's Praise is a priceless diamond.

55It is the ocean of bliss and virtue.

56In the Word of the Guru's Bani is the wealth of the unstruck sound current.

57The Saints hold the key to it in their hands. ||2||
