1And as the True Guru, the Primal Lord spoke, and the Gursikhs obeyed His Will.

2His son Mohri turned sunmukh, and become obedient to Him; he bowed, and touched Ram Das' feet.

3Then, everyone bowed and touched the feet of Ram Das, into whom the Guru infused His essence.

4And any that did not bow then because of envy - later, the True Guru brought them around to bow in humility.

5It pleased the Guru, the Lord, to bestow glorious greatness upon Him; such was the pre-ordained destiny of the Lord's Will.

6Says Sundar, listen, O Saints: all the world fell at His feet. ||6||1||

7Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla, Chhant:

8One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

9Friend, my Friend - standing so near to me is my Friend!

10Beloved, the Lord my Beloved - with my eyes, I have seen the Lord, my Beloved!

11With my eyes I have seen Him, sleeping upon the bed within each and every heart; my Beloved is the sweetest ambrosial nectar.

12He is with all, but he cannot be found; the fool does not know His taste.

13Intoxicated with the wine of Maya, the mortal babbles on about trivial affairs; giving in to the illusion, he cannot meet the Lord.

14Says Nanak, without the Guru, he cannot understand the Lord, the Friend who is standing near everyone. ||1||

15God, my God - the Support of the breath of life is my God.

16Merciful Lord, my Merciful Lord - the Giver of gifts is my Merciful Lord.

17The Giver of gifts is infinite and unlimited; deep within each and every heart, He is so beautiful!

18He created Maya, His slave, so powerfully pervasive - she has enticed all beings and creatures.

19One whom the Lord saves, chants the True Name, and contemplates the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

20Says Nanak, one who is pleasing to God - God is very dear to him. ||2||

21I take pride, I take pride in God; I take pride in my God.

22Wise, God is wise; my Lord and Master is all-wise, and all-knowing.

23All-wise and all-knowing, and forever supreme; the Name of the Lord is Ambrosial Nectar.

24Those who have such pre-ordained destiny recorded upon their foreheads, taste it, and are satisfied with the Lord of the Universe.

25They meditate on Him, and find Him; they place all their pride in Him.

26Says Nanak, He is seated on His eternal throne; True is His royal court. ||3||

27The song of joy, the Lord's song of joy; listen to the song of joy of my God.

28The wedding song, God's wedding song; the unstruck sound current of His wedding song resounds.

29The unstruck sound current vibrates, and the Word of the Shabad resounds; there is continuous, continual rejoicing.

30Meditating on that God, everything is obtained; He does not die, or come or go.

31Thirst is quenched, and hopes are fulfilled; the Gurmukh meets with the absolute, unmanifest Lord.

32Says Nanak, in the Home of my God, the songs of joy are continuously, continually heard. ||4||1||
