1God killed the five tigers.

2He has driven out the ten wolves.

3The three whirl-pools have stopped spinning.

4In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the fear of reincarnation is gone. ||1||

5Meditating, meditating in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe, I live.

6In His Mercy, He protects His slave; the True Lord is forever and ever the forgiver. ||1||Pause||

7The mountain of sin is burnt down, like straw,

8by chanting and meditating on the Name, and worshipping God's feet.

9God, the embodiment of bliss, becomes manifest everywhere.

10Linked to His loving devotional worship, I enjoy peace. ||2||

11I have crossed over the world-ocean, as if it were no bigger than a calf's footprint on the ground.

12I shall never again have to endure suffering or grief.

13The ocean is contained in the pitcher.

14This is not such an amazing thing for the Creator to do. ||3||

15When I am separated from Him, then I am consigned to the nether regions.

16When He lifts me up and pulls me out, then I am enraptured by His Glance of Grace.

17Vice and virtue are not under my control.

18With love and affection, Nanak sings His Glorious Praises. ||4||40||51||

19Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

20Neither your body nor your mind belong to you.

21Attached to Maya, you are entangled in fraud.

22You play like a baby lamb.

23But suddenly, Death will catch you in its noose. ||1||

24Seek the Sanctuary of the Lord's lotus feet, O my mind.

25Chant the Name of the Lord, which will be your help and support. As Gurmukh, you shall obtain the true wealth. ||1||Pause||

26Your unfinished worldly affairs will never be resolved.

27You shall always regret your sexual desire, anger and pride.

28You act in corruption in order to survive,

29but not even an iota will go along with you, you ignorant fool! ||2||

30You practice deception, and you know many tricks;

31for the sake of mere shells, you throw dust upon your head.

32You never even think of the One who gave you life.

33The pain of false greed never leaves you. ||3||

34When the Supreme Lord God becomes merciful,

35this mind becomes the dust of the feet of the Holy.

36With His lotus hands, He has attached us to the hem of His robe.

37Nanak merges in the Truest of the True. ||4||41||52||

38Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

39I seek the Sanctuary of the Sovereign Lord.

40I have become fearless, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, my pains have been taken away. ||1||Pause||

41That person, within whose mind the Lord abides,

42does not see the impassible world-ocean.

43All one's affairs are resolved,

44by chanting continually the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

45Why should His slave feel any anxiety? The Guru places His hand upon my forehead.

46The fear of birth and death is dispelled;

47I am a sacrifice to the Perfect Guru. ||2||

48I am enraptured, meeting with the Guru, the Transcendent Lord.

49He alone obtains the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, who is blessed by His Mercy.

50One who is blessed by the Grace of the Supreme Lord God,

51crosses over the terrifying world-ocean in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||3||

52Drink in the Ambrosial Nectar, O Beloved Holy people.

53Your face shall be radiant and bright in the Court of the Lord.

54Celebrate and be blissful, and abandon all corruption.

55O Nanak, meditate on the Lord and cross over. ||4||42||53||
