Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

673 : 532
You have made it your habit to practice those deeds which will bring you shame.

673 : 533
You slander the Saints, and you worship the faithless cynics; such are the corrupt ways you have adopted. ||1||

673 : 534
Deluded by your emotional attachment to Maya, you love other things,

673 : 535
like the enchanted city of Hari-chandauree, or the green leaves of the forest - such is your way of life. ||1||Pause||

673 : 536
Its body may be anointed with sandalwood oil, but the donkey still loves to roll in the mud.

673 : 537
He is not fond of the Ambrosial Nectar; instead, he loves the poisonous drug of corruption. ||2||

673 : 538
The Saints are noble and sublime; they are blessed with good fortune. They alone are pure and holy in this world.

673 : 539
The jewel of this human life is passing away uselessly, lost in exchange for mere glass. ||3||

673 : 540
The sins and sorrows of uncounted incarnations run away, when the Guru applies the healing ointment of spiritual wisdom to the eyes.

673 : 541
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I have escaped from these troubles; Nanak loves the One Lord. ||4||9||

673 : 542
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

673 : 543
I carry the water, wave the fan, and grind the corn for the Saints; I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe.

673 : 544
With each and every breath, my mind remembers the Naam, the Name of the Lord; in this way, it finds the treasure of peace. ||1||

673 : 545
Have pity on me, O my Lord and Master.

673 : 546
Bless me with such understanding, O my Lord and Master, that I may forever and ever meditate on You. ||1||Pause||

673 : 547
By Your Grace, emotional attachment and egotism are eradicated, and doubt is dispelled.

673 : 548
The Lord, the embodiment of bliss, is pervading and permeating in all; wherever I go, there I see Him. ||2||

673 : 549
You are kind and compassionate, the treasure of mercy, the Purifier of sinners, Lord of the world.

Continued...

673 : 550
I obtain millions of joys, comforts and kingdoms, if You inspire me to chant Your Name with my mouth, even for an instant. ||3||

673 : 551
That alone is perfect chanting, meditation, penance and devotional worship service, which is pleasing to God's Mind.

673 : 552
Chanting the Naam, all thirst and desire is satisfied; Nanak is satisfied and fulfilled. ||4||10||

673 : 553
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

673 : 554
She controls the three qualities and the four directions of the world.

673 : 555
She destroys sacrificial feasts, cleansing baths, penances and sacred places of pilgrimage; what is this poor person to do? ||1||

673 : 556
I grasped God's Support and Protection, and then I was emancipated.

673 : 557
By the Grace of the Holy Saints, I sang the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, and my sins and afflictions were taken away. ||1||Pause||

673 : 558
She is not heard - she does not speak with a mouth; she is not seen enticing mortals.

673 : 559
She administers her intoxicating drug, and so confuses them; thus she seems sweet to everyone's mind. ||2||

673 : 560
In each and every home, she has implanted the sense of duality in mother, father, children, friends and siblings.

673 : 561
Some have more, and some have less; they fight and fight, to the death. ||3||

673 : 562
I am a sacrifice to my True Guru, who has shown me this wondrous play.

673 : 563
The world is being consumed by this hidden fire, but Maya does not cling to the Lord's devotees. ||4||

673 : 564
By the Grace of the Saints, I have obtained supreme bliss, and all my bonds have been broken.

673 : 565
Nanak has obtained the wealth of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; having earned his profits, he has now returned home. ||5||11||

673 : 566
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

673 : 567
You are the Giver, O Lord, O Cherisher, my Master, my Husband Lord.
