1Her marriage is eternal; her Husband is Inaccessible and Incomprehensible. O Servant Nanak, His Love is her only Support. ||4||4||11||

2Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

3I have searched and searched, seeking the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.

4I travelled through all sorts of woods and forests.

5My Lord, Har, Har, is both absolute and related, unmanifest and manifest; is there anyone who can come and unite me with Him? ||1||

6People recite from memory the wisdom of the six schools of philosophy;

7they perform worship services, wear ceremonial religious marks on their foreheads, and take ritual cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage.

8They perform the inner cleansing practice with water and adopt the eighty-four Yogic postures; but still, they find no peace in any of these. ||2||

9They chant and meditate, practicing austere self-discipline for years and years;

10they wander on journeys all over the earth;

11and yet, their hearts are not at peace, even for an instant. The Yogi rises up and goes out, over and over again. ||3||

12By His Mercy, I have met the Holy Saint.

13My mind and body have been cooled and soothed; I have been blessed with patience and composure.

14The Immortal Lord God has come to dwell within my heart. Nanak sings the songs of joy to the Lord. ||4||5||12||

15Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

16The Supreme Lord God is Infinite and Divine;

17He is Inaccessible, Incomprehensible, Invisible and Inscrutable.

18Merciful to the meek, Sustainer of the World, Lord of the Universe-meditating on the Lord, the Gurmukhs find salvation. ||1||

19The Gurmukhs are emancipated by the Lord.

20The Lord Krishna becomes the Gurmukh's Companion.

21The Gurmukh finds the Merciful Lord. He is not found any other way. ||2||

22He does not need to eat; His Hair is Wondrous and Beautiful; He is free of hate.

23Millions of people worship His Feet.

24He alone is a devotee, who becomes Gurmukh, whose heart is filled with the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

25Forever fruitful is the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; He is Infinite and Incomparable.

26He is Awesome and All-powerful; He is forever the Great Giver.

27As Gurmukh, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and you shall be carried across. O Nanak, rare are those who know this state! ||4||6||13||

28Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

29As You command, I obey; as You give, I receive.

30You are the Pride of the meek and the poor.

31You are everything; You are my Beloved. I am a sacrifice to Your Creative Power. ||1||

32By Your Will, we wander in the wilderness; by Your Will, we find the path.

33By Your Will, we become Gurmukh and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

34By Your Will, we wander in doubt through countless lifetimes. Everything happens by Your Will. ||2||

35No one is foolish, and no one is clever.

36Your Will determines everything;

37You are Inaccessible, Incomprehensible, Infinite and Unfathomable. Your Value cannot be expressed. ||3||

38Please bless me with the dust of the Saints, O my Beloved.

39I have come and fallen at Your Door, O Lord.

40Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, my mind is fulfilled. O Nanak, with natural ease, I merge into Him. ||4||7||14||

41Maajh, Fifth Mehla:

42They forget the Lord, and they suffer in pain.

43Afflicted with hunger, they run around in all directions.

44The Lord, Merciful to the meek, bestows meditation on those blessed souls; this Naam forever provides peace.||1||

45My True Guru is All-Powerful.
