Malaar, Fifth Mehl:

1273 : 737
O Lord of the Universe, O Lord of the World, O Dear Merciful Beloved. ||1||Pause||

1273 : 738
You are the Master of the breath of life, the Companion of the lost and forsaken, the Destroyer of the pains of the poor. ||1||

1273 : 739
O All-powerful, Inaccessible, Perfect Lord, please shower me with Your Mercy. ||2||

1273 : 740
Please, carry Nanak across the terrible, deep dark pit of the world to the other side. ||3||8||30||

1273 : 741
Malaar, First Mehl, Ashtapadees, First House:

1273 : 742
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1273 : 743
The chakvi bird does not long for sleepy eyes; without her beloved, she does not sleep.

1273 : 744
When the sun rises, she sees her beloved with her eyes; she bows and touches his feet. ||1||

1273 : 745
The Love of my Beloved is pleasing; it is my Companion and Support.

1273 : 746
Without Him, I cannot live in this world even for an instant; such is my hunger and thirst. ||1||Pause||

1273 : 747
The lotus in the pool blossoms forth intuitively and naturally, with the rays of the sun in the sky.

1273 : 748
Such is the love for my Beloved which imbues me; my light has merged into the Light. ||2||

1273 : 749
Without water, the rainbird cries out, "Pri-o! Pri-o! - Beloved! Beloved!" It cries and wails and laments.

1273 : 750
The thundering clouds rain down in the ten directions; its thirst is not quenched until it catches the rain-drop in its mouth. ||3||

1273 : 751
The fish lives in water, from which it was born. It finds peace and pleasure according to its past actions.

1273 : 752
It cannot survive without water for a moment, even for an instant. Life and death depend on it. ||4||

1273 : 753
The soul-bride is separated from her Husband Lord, who lives in His Own Country. He sends the Shabad, His Word, through the True Guru.

1273 : 754
She gathers virtues, and enshrines God within her heart. Imbued with devotion, she is happy. ||5||

1273 : 755
Everyone cries out, "Beloved! Beloved!" But she alone finds her Beloved, who is pleasing to the Guru.

1273 : 756
Our Beloved is always with us; through the Truth, He blesses us with His Grace, and unites us in His Union. ||6||

1273 : 757
He is the life of the soul in each and every soul; He permeates and pervades each and every heart.

1273 : 758
By Guru's Grace, He is revealed within the home of my heart; I am intuitively, naturally, absorbed into Him. ||7||

1273 : 759
He Himself shall resolve all your affairs, when you meet with the Giver of peace, the Lord of the World.

1273 : 760
By Guru's Grace, you shall find your Husband Lord within your own home; then, O Nanak, the fire within you shall be quenched. ||8||1||

1273 : 761
Malaar, First Mehl:

1273 : 762
Remain awake and aware, serving the Guru; except for the Lord, no one is mine.

1273 : 763
Even by making all sorts of efforts, you shall not remain here; it shall melt like glass in the fire. ||1||

1273 : 764
Tell me - why are you so proud of your body and wealth?

1273 : 765
They shall vanish in an instant; O madman, this is how the world is wasting away, in egotism and pride. ||1||Pause||

1273 : 766
Hail to the Lord of the Universe, God, our Saving Grace; He judges and saves the mortal beings.

1273 : 767
All that is, belongs to You. No one else is equal to You. ||2||

1273 : 768
Creating all beings and creatures, their ways and means are under Your control; You bless the Gurmukhs with the ointment of spiritual wisdom.

1273 : 769
My Eternal, Unmastered Lord is over the heads of all. He is the Destroyer of death and rebirth, doubt and fear. ||3||
