1I cannot endure the night, and sleep does not come, without the Sight of the Beloved Guru's Court. ||3||

2I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to that True Court of the Beloved Guru. ||1||Pause||

3By good fortune, I have met the Saint Guru.

4I have found the Immortal Lord within the home of my own self.

5I will now serve You forever, and I shall never be separated from You, even for an instant. Servant Nanak is Your slave, O Beloved Master. ||4||

6I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice; servant Nanak is Your slave, Lord. ||Pause||1||8||

7Raag Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

8Sweet is that season when I remember You.

9Sublime is that work which is done for You.

10Blessed is that heart in which You dwell, O Giver of all. ||1||

11You are the Universal Father of all, O my Lord and Master.

12Your nine treasures are an inexhaustible storehouse.

13Those unto whom You give are satisfied and fulfilled; they become Your devotees, Lord. ||2||

14All place their hopes in You.

15You dwell deep within each and every heart.

16All share in Your Grace; none are beyond You. ||3||

17You Yourself liberate the Gurmukhs;

18You Yourself consign the self-willed manmukhs to wander in reincarnation.

19Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to You; Your Entire Play is self-evident, Lord. ||4||2||9||

20Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

21The Unstruck Melody resounds and resonates in peaceful ease.

22I rejoice in the eternal bliss of the Word of the Shabad.

23In the cave of intuitive wisdom I sit, absorbed in the silent trance of the Primal Void. I have obtained my seat in the heavens. ||1||

24After wandering through many other homes and houses, I have returned to my own home,

25and I have found what I was longing for.

26I am satisfied and fulfilled; O Saints, the Guru has shown me the Fearless Lord God. ||2||

27He Himself is the King, and He Himself is the people.

28He Himself is in Nirvaanaa, and He Himself indulges in pleasures.

29He Himself sits on the throne of true justice, answering the cries and prayers of all. ||3||

30As I have seen Him, so have I described Him.

31This Sublime Essence comes only to one who knows the Mystery of the Lord.

32His light merges into the Light, and he finds peace. O servant Nanak, this is all the Extension of the One. ||4||3||10||

33Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

34That house, in which the soul-bride has married her Husband Lord

35in that house, O my companions, sing the songs of rejoicing.

36Joy and celebrations decorate that house, in which the Husband Lord has adorned His soul-bride. ||1||

37She is virtuous, and she is very fortunate;

38she is blessed with sons and tender-hearted. The happy soul-bride is loved by her Husband.

39She is beautiful, wise, and clever. That soul-bride is the beloved of her Husband Lord. ||2||

40She is well-mannered, noble and distinguished.

41She is decorated and adorned with wisdom.

42She is from a most respected family; she is the queen, adorned with the Love of her Husband Lord. ||3||

43Her glory cannot be described;

44she melts in the Embrace of her Husband Lord.
