Fifth Mehl:

958 : 3720
To ask for any other than You, Lord, is the most miserable of miseries.

958 : 3721
Please bless me with Your Name, and make me content; may the hunger of my mind be satisfied.

958 : 3722
The Guru has made the woods and meadows green again. O Nanak, is it any wonder that He blesses human beings as well? ||2||

958 : 3723
Pauree:

958 : 3724
Such is that Great Giver; may I never forget Him from my mind.

958 : 3725
I cannot survive without Him, for an instant, for a moment, for a second.

958 : 3726
Inwardly and outwardly, He is with us; how can we hide anything from Him?

958 : 3727
One whose honor He Himself has preserved, crosses over the terrifying world-ocean.

958 : 3728
He alone is a devotee, a spiritual teacher, and a disciplined pratictioner of meditation, whom the Lord has so blessed.

958 : 3729
He alone is perfect and renowned as supreme, whom the Lord has blessed with His power.

958 : 3730
He alone endures the unendurable, whom the Lord inspires to endure it.

958 : 3731
And he alone meets the True Lord, within whose mind the Guru's Mantra is implanted. ||3||

958 : 3732
Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

958 : 3733
Blessed are those beautiful Ragas which, when chanted, quench all thirst.

958 : 3734
Blessed are those beautiful people who, as Gurmukh, chant the Name of the Lord.

958 : 3735
I am a sacrifice to those who single-mindedly worship and adore the One Lord.

958 : 3736
I yearn for the dust of their feet; by His Grace, it is obtained.

958 : 3737
I am a sacrifice to those who are imbued with love for the Lord of the Universe.

958 : 3738
I tell them the state of my soul, and pray that I may be united with the Sovereign Lord King, my Friend.

958 : 3739
The Perfect Guru has united me with Him, and the pains of birth and death have departed.

958 : 3740
Servant Nanak has found the inaccessible, infinitely beautiful Lord, and he will not go anywhere else. ||1||

958 : 3741
Fifth Mehl:

958 : 3742
Blessed is that time, blessed is that hour, blessed is that second, excellent is that instant;

958 : 3743
blessed is that day, and that opportunity, when I gazed upon the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan.

958 : 3744
The mind's desires are fulfilled, when the inaccessible, unfathomable Lord is obtained.

958 : 3745
Egotism and emotional attachment are eradicated, and one leans only on the Support of the True Name.

958 : 3746
O servant Nanak, one who is committed to the Lord's service - the whole world is saved along with him. ||2||

958 : 3747
Pauree:

958 : 3748
How rare are those who are blessed to praise the Lord, in devotional worship.

958 : 3749
Those who are blessed with the Lord's treasures are not called to give their account again.

958 : 3750
Those who are imbued with His Love are absorbed in ecstasy.

958 : 3751
They take the Support of the One Name; the One Name is their only food.

958 : 3752
For their sake, the world eats and enjoys.

958 : 3753
Their Beloved Lord belongs to them alone.

958 : 3754
The Guru comes and meets them; they alone know God.

958 : 3755
I am a sacrifice to those who are pleasing to their Lord and Master. ||4||

958 : 3756
Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

958 : 3757
My friendship is with the One Lord alone; I am in love with the One Lord alone.

958 : 3758
The Lord is my only friend; my companionship is with the One Lord alone.

958 : 3759
My conversation is with the One Lord alone; He never frowns, or turns His face away.

958 : 3760
He alone knows the state of my soul; He never ignores my love.

958 : 3761
He is my only counselor, all-powerful to destroy and create.

958 : 3762
The Lord is my only Giver. He places His hand upon the heads of the generous in the world.

958 : 3763
I take the Support of the One Lord alone; He is all-powerful, over the heads of all.

958 : 3764
The Saint, the True Guru, has united me with the Lord. He placed His hand on my forehead.
