By great good fortune, Nanak has found the Lord. ||5||

838 : 1731
Without You, God, there is no other at all.

838 : 1732
My mind loves You, as the partridge loves the moon,

838 : 1733
as the fish loves the water,

838 : 1734

as milk is joined to water,

838 : 1740
as food is to the very hungry man,

and as the mother loves her son,

838 : 1742
so does Nanak constantly remember the Lord in meditation. ||7||

838 : 1743
As the moth falls into the lamp,

838 : 1744
as the thief steals without hesitation,

838 : 1745
as the elephant is trapped by its sexual urges,

838 : 1746
as the sinner is caught in his sins,

838 : 1747
as the gambler's addiction does not leave him,

838 : 1748
so is this mind of Nanak's attached to the Lord. ||8||

838 : 1749
As the deer loves the sound of the bell,
