1Vaar Of Raamkalee, Fifth Mehla:

2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

4As I have heard of the True Guru, so I have seen Him.

5He re-unites the separated ones with God; He is the Mediator at the Court of the Lord.

6He implants the Mantra of the Lord's Name, and eradicates the illness of egotism.

7O Nanak, he alone meets the True Guru, who has such union pre-ordained. ||1||

8Fifth Mehla:

9If the One Lord is my Friend, then all are my friends. If the One Lord is my enemy, then all fight with me.

10The Perfect Guru has shown me that, without the Name, everything is useless.

11The faithless cynics and the evil people wander in reincarnation; they are attached to other tastes.

12Servant Nanak has realized the Lord God, by the Grace of the Guru, the True Guru. ||2||

13Pauree:

14The Creator Lord created the Creation.

15He Himself is the perfect Banker; He Himself earns His profit.

16He Himself made the expansive Universe; He Himself is imbued with joy.

17The value of God's almighty creative power cannot be estimated.

18He is inaccessible, unfathomable, endless, the farthest of the far.

19He Himself is the greatest Emperor; He Himself is His own Prime Minister.

20No one knows His worth, or the greatness of His resting place.

21He Himself is our True Lord and Master. He reveals Himself to the Gurmukh. ||1||

22Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

23Listen, O my beloved friend: please show me the True Guru.

24I dedicate my mind to Him; I keep Him continually enshrined within my heart.

25Without the One and Only True Guru, life in this world is cursed.

26O servant Nanak, they alone meet the True Guru, with whom He constantly abides. ||1||

27Fifth Mehla:

28Deep within me is the longing to meet You; how can I find You, God?

29I will search for someone, some friend, who will unite me with my Beloved.

30The Perfect Guru has united me with Him; wherever I look, there He is.

31Servant Nanak serves that God; there is no other as great as He is. ||2||

32Pauree:

33He is the Great Giver, the Generous Lord; with what mouth can I praise Him?

34In His Mercy, He protects, preserves and sustains us.

35No one is under anyone else's control; He is the One Support of all.

36He cherishes all as His children, and reaches out with His hand.

37He stages His joyous plays, which no one understands at all.

38The all-powerful Lord gives His Support to all; I am a sacrifice to Him.

39Night and day, sing the Praises of the One who is worthy of being praised.

40Those who fall at the Guru's Feet, enjoy the sublime essence of the Lord. ||2||

41Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

42He has widened the narrow path for me, and preserved my integrity, along with that of my family.

43He Himself has arranged and resolved my affairs. I dwell upon that God forever.

44God is my mother and father; He hugs me close in His embrace, and cherishes me, like His tiny baby.

45All beings and creatures have become kind and compassionate to me. O Nanak, the Lord has blessed me with His Glance of Grace. ||1||
