1Abandon all your entanglements and corruption; sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord forever.

2With palms pressed together, Nanak begs for this blessing; please bless me with Your Name. ||2||1||6||

3Maalee Gauraa, Fifth Mehla:

4God is all-powerful, divine and infinite.

5Who knows Your wondrous plays? You have no end or limitation. ||1||Pause||

6In an instant, You establish and disestablish; You create and destroy, O Creator Lord.

7As many beings as You created, God, so many You bless with Your blessings. ||1||

8I have come to Your Sanctuary, Lord; I am Your slave, O Inaccessible Lord God.

9Lift me up and pull me out of the terrifying, treacherous world-ocean; servant Nanak is forever a sacrifice to You. ||2||2||7||

10Maalee Gauraa, Fifth Mehla:

11The Lord of the World abides in my mind and body.

12Friend of the meek, Lover of His devotees, forever and ever merciful. ||1||Pause||

13In the beginning, in the end and in the middle, You alone exist, God; there is none other than You.

14He is totally permeating and pervading all worlds; He is the One and only Lord and Master. ||1||

15With my ears I hear God's Praises, and with my eyes I behold the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; with my tongue I sing the Lord's Glorious Praises.

16Nanak is forever a sacrifice to You; please, bless me with Your Name. ||2||3||8||6||14||

17Maalee Gauraa, The Word Of Devotee Naam Dayv Jee:

18One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

19Blessed, blessed is that flute which the Lord plays.

20The sweet, sweet unstruck sound current sings forth. ||1||Pause||

21Blessed, blessed is the wool of the sheep;

22blessed, blessed is the blanket worn by Krishna. ||1||

23Blessed, blessed are you, O mother Dayvakee;

24into your home the Lord was born. ||2||

25Blessed, blessed are the forests of Brindaaban;

26the Supreme Lord plays there. ||3||

27He plays the flute, and herds the cows;

28Naam Dayv's Lord and Master plays happily. ||4||1||

29O my Father, Lord of wealth, blessed are You, long-haired, dark-skinned, my darling. ||1||Pause||

30You hold the steel chakra in Your hand; You came down from Heaven, and saved the life of the elephant.

31In the court of Duhsaasan, You saved the honor of Dropati, when her clothes were being removed. ||1||

32You saved Ahliyaa, the wife of Gautam; how many have You purified and carried across?

33Such a lowly outcaste as Naam Dayv has come seeking Your Sanctuary. ||2||2||

34Within all hearts, the Lord speaks, the Lord speaks.

35Who else speaks, other than the Lord? ||1||Pause||

36Out of the same clay, the elephant, the ant, and the many sorts of species are formed.

37In stationary life forms, moving beings, worms, moths and within each and every heart, the Lord is contained. ||1||

38Remember the One, Infinite Lord; abandon all other hopes.

39Naam Dayv prays, I have become dispassionate and detached; who is the Lord and Master, and who is the slave? ||2||3||
