1Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

2Honor the One, to whom everything belongs.

3Leave your egotistical pride behind.

4You belong to Him; everyone belongs to Him.

5Worship and adore Him, and you shall be at peace forever. ||1||

6Why do you wander in doubt, you fool?

7Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, nothing is of any use at all. Crying out, 'Mine, mine', a great many have departed, regretfully repenting. ||1||Pause||

8Whatever the Lord has done, accept that as good.

9Without accepting, you shall mingle with dust.

10His Will seems sweet to me.

11By Guru's Grace, He comes to dwell in the mind. ||2||

12He Himself is carefree and independent, imperceptible.

13Twenty-four hours a day, O mind, meditate on Him.

14When He comes into the consciousness, pain is dispelled.

15Here and hereafter, your face shall be radiant and bright. ||3||

16Who, and how many have been saved, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord?

17They cannot be counted or evaluated.

18Even the sinking iron is saved, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy,

19O Nanak, as His Grace is received. ||4||31||42||

20Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

21In your mind, meditate on the Lord God.

22This is the Teaching given by the Perfect Guru.

23All fears and terrors are taken away,

24and your hopes shall be fulfilled. ||1||

25Service to the Divine Guru is fruitful and rewarding.

26His value cannot be described; the True Lord is unseen and mysterious. ||1||Pause||

27He Himself is the Doer, the Cause of causes.

28Meditate on Him forever, O my mind, and continually serve Him.

29You shall be blessed with truth, intuition and peace, O my friend. ||2||

30My Lord and Master is so very great.

31In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes.

32There is no other than Him.

33He is the Saving Grace of His humble servant. ||3||

34Please take pity on me, and hear my prayer,

35that Your servant may behold the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

36Nanak chants the Chant of the Lord,

37whose glory and radiance are the highest of all. ||4||32||43||

38Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

39Reliance on mortal man is useless.

40O God, my Lord and Master, You are my only Support.

41I have discarded all other hopes.

42I have met with my carefree Lord and Master, the treasure of virtue. ||1||

43Meditate on the Name of the Lord alone, O my mind.

44Your affairs shall be perfectly resolved; sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, O my mind. ||1||Pause||

45You are the Doer, the Cause of causes.

46Your lotus feet, Lord, are my Sanctuary.

47I meditate on the Lord in my mind and body.

48The blissful Lord has revealed His form to me. ||2||

49I seek His eternal support;

50He is the Creator of all beings.

51Remembering the Lord in meditation, the treasure is obtained.

52At the very last instant, He shall be your Savior. ||3||

53Be the dust of all men's feet.

54Eradicate self-conceit, and merge in the Lord.

55Night and day, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

56O Nanak, this is the most rewarding activity. ||4||33||44||

57Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

58He is the Doer, the Cause of causes, the bountiful Lord.

59The merciful Lord cherishes all.

60The Lord is unseen and infinite.

61God is great and endless. ||1||
