1Blessed are Your devotees, who see You, O True Lord.

2He alone praises You, who is blessed by Your Grace.

3One who meets the Guru, O Nanak, is immaculate and sanctified. ||20||

4Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

5Fareed, this world is beautiful, but there is a thorny garden within it.

6Those who are blessed by their spiritual teacher are not even scratched. ||1||

7Fifth Mehla:

8Fareed, blessed is the life, with such a beautiful body.

9How rare are those who are found to love their Beloved Lord. ||2||

10Pauree:

11He alone obtains meditation, austerities, self-discipline, compassion and Dharmic faith, whom the Lord so blesses.

12He alone meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, whose fire the Lord puts out.

13The Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, the Inaccessible Primal Lord, inspires us to look upon all with an impartial eye.

14With the support of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, one falls in love with God.

15One's faults are eradicated, and one's face becomes radiant and bright; through the Lord's Name, one crosses over.

16The fear of birth and death is removed, and he is not reincarnated again.

17God lifts him up and pulls him out of the deep, dark pit, and attaches him to the hem of His robe.

18O Nanak, God forgives him, and holds him close in His embrace. ||21||

19Shalok, Fifth Mehla:

20One who loves God is imbued with the deep crimson color of His love.

21O Nanak, such a person is rarely found; the value of such a humble person can never be estimated. ||1||

22Fifth Mehla:

23The True Name has pierced the nucleus of my self deep within. Outside, I see the True Lord as well.

24O Nanak, He is pervading and permeating all places, the forests and the meadows, the three worlds, and every hair. ||2||

25Pauree:

26He Himself created the Universe; He Himself imbues it.

27He Himself is One, and He Himself has numerous forms.

28He Himself is within all, and He Himself is beyond them.

29He Himself is known to be far away, and He Himself is right here.

30He Himself is hidden, and He Himself is revealed.

31No one can estimate the value of Your Creation, Lord.

32You are deep and profound, unfathomable, infinite and invaluable.

33O Nanak, the One Lord is all-pervading. You are the One and only. ||22||1||2|| Sudh||

34Vaar Of Raamkalee, Uttered By Satta And Balwand The Drummer:

35One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

36One who chants the Name of the Almighty Creator - how can his words be judged?

37His divine virtues are the true sisters and brothers; through them, the gift of supreme status is obtained.

38Nanak established the kingdom; He built the true fortress on the strongest foundations.

39He installed the royal canopy over Lehna's head; chanting the Lord's Praises, He drank in the Ambrosial Nectar.

40The Guru implanted the almighty sword of the Teachings to illuminate his soul.

41The Guru bowed down to His disciple, while Nanak was still alive.

42The King, while still alive, applied the ceremonial mark to his forehead. ||1||

43Nanak proclaimed Lehna's succession - he earned it.

44They shared the One Light and the same way; the King just changed His body.

45The immaculate canopy waves over Him, and He sits on the throne in the Guru's shop.

46He does as the Guru commands; He tasted the tasteless stone of Yoga.
