1Nat, Fifth Mehla:

2I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to the Guru, the Lord of the World. ||1||Pause||

3I am unworthy; You are the Perfect Giver. You are the Merciful Master of the meek. ||1||

4While standing up and sitting down, while sleeping and awake, You are my soul, my breath of life, my wealth and property. ||2||

5Within my mind there is such a great thirst for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan. Nanak is enraptured with Your Glance of Grace. ||3||8||9||

6Nat Partaal, Fifth Mehla:

7One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

8Is there any friend or companion of mine,

9who will constantly share the Lord's Name with me?

10Will he rid me of my pains and evil tendencies?

11I would surrender my mind, body, consciousness and everything. ||1||Pause||

12How rare is that one whom the Lord makes His own,

13and whose mind is sewn into the Lord's Lotus Feet.

14Granting His Grace, the Lord blesses him with His Praise. ||1||

15Vibrating, meditating on the Lord, he is victorious in this precious human life,

16and millions of sinners are sanctified.

17Slave Nanak is a sacrifice, a sacrifice to Him. ||2||1||10||19||

18Nat Ashtpadheeyaa, Fourth Mehla:

19One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

20O Lord, Your Name is the support of my mind and body.

21I cannot survive for a moment, even for an instant, without serving You. Following the Guru's Teachings, I dwell upon the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

22Within my mind, I meditate on the Lord, Har, Har, Har, Har, Har. The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is so dear to me.

23When God, my Lord and Master, became merciful to me the meek one, I was exalted by the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||

24Almighty Lord, Slayer of demons, Life of the World, my Lord and Master, inaccessible and infinite:

25I offer this one prayer to the Guru, to bless me, that I may wash the feet of the Holy. ||2||

26The thousands of eyes are the eyes of God; the One God, the Primal Being, remains unattached.

27The One God, our Lord and Master, has thousands of forms; God alone, through the Guru's Teachings, saves us. ||3||

28Following the Guru's Teachings, I have been blessed with the Naam, the Name of the Lord. I have enshrined within my heart the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

29The sermon of the Lord, Har, Har, is so very sweet; like the mute, I taste its sweetness, but I cannot describe it at all. ||4||

30The tongue savors the bland, insipid taste of the love of duality, greed and corruption.

31The Gurmukh tastes the flavor of the Lord's Name, and all other tastes and flavors are forgotten. ||5||

32Following the Guru's Teachings, I have obtained the wealth of the Lord's Name; hearing it, and chanting it, sins are eradicated.

33The Messenger of Death and the Righteous Judge of Dharma do not even approach the beloved servant of my Lord and Master. ||6||

34With as many breaths as I have, I chant the Naam, under Guru's Instructions.

35Each and every breath which escapes me without the Naam - that breath is useless and corrupt. ||7||

36Please grant Your Grace; I am meek; I seek Your Sanctuary, God. Unite me with Your beloved, humble servants.
