1The Word of the Perfect True Guru's Bani is Ambrosial Nectar; it dwells in the heart of one who is blessed by the Guru's Mercy.

2His coming and going in reincarnation is ended; forever and ever, he is at peace. ||2||

3Pauree:

4He alone understands You, Lord, with whom You are pleased.

5He alone is approved in the Court of the Lord, with whom You are pleased.

6Egotism is eradicated, when You bestow Your Grace.

7Sins are erased, when You are thoroughly pleased.

8One who has the Lord Master on his side, becomes fearless.

9One who is blessed with Your Mercy, becomes truthful.

10One who is blessed with Your Kindness, is not touched by fire.

11You are forever Merciful to those who are receptive to the Guru's Teachings. ||7||

12Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

13Please grant Your Grace, O Merciful Lord; please forgive me.

14Forever and ever, I chant Your Name; I fall at the feet of the True Guru.

15Please, dwell within my mind and body, and end my sufferings.

16Please give me Your hand, and save me, that fear may not afflict me.

17May I sing Your Glorious Praises day and night; please commit me to this task.

18Associating with the humble Saints, the disease of egotism is eradicated.

19The One Lord and Master is all-pervading, permeating everywhere.

20By Guru's Grace, I have truly found the Truest of the True.

21Please bless me with Your Kindness, O Kind Lord, and bless me with Your Praises.

22Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, I am in ecstasy; this is what Nanak loves. ||1||

23Fifth Mehla:

24Meditate on the One Lord within your mind, and enter the Sanctuary of the One Lord alone.

25Be in love with the One Lord; there is no other at all.

26Beg from the One Lord, the Great Giver, and you will be blessed with everything.

27In your mind and body, with each breath and morsel of food, meditate on the One and only Lord God.

28The Gurmukh obtains the true treasure, the Ambrosial Naam, the Name of the Lord.

29Very fortunate are those humble Saints, within whose minds the Lord has come to abide.

30He is pervading and permeating the water, the land and the sky; there is no other at all.

31Meditating on the Naam, and chanting the Naam, Nanak abides in the Will of his Lord and Master. ||2||

39One who has You on his side, God - unto whom is he subservient?

40One who is blessed with Your Kind Mercy is dedicated to Your worship. ||8||

41Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

42Be Merciful, O my Lord and Master, that I may pass my life in the Society of the Saints.
