MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: I enshrine the Lord’s Feet within my heart; in His Mercy, God has united me with Himself. God enjoins His servant to his tasks. His worth cannot be expressed. ||1|| Please be merciful to me, O Perfect Giver of peace. By Your Grace, You come to mind; I am imbued with Your Love, twenty-four hours a day. ||1|| Pause|| Singing and listening, it is all by Your Will. One who understands the Hukam of Your Command is absorbed in Truth. Chanting and meditating on Your Name, I live. Without You, there is no place at all. ||2|| Pain and pleasure come by Your Command, O Creator Lord. By the Pleasure of Your Will You forgive, and by the Pleasure of Your Will You award punishment. You are the Creator of both realms. I am a sacrifice to Your Glorious Grandeur. ||3|| You alone know Your value. You alone understand, You Yourself speak and listen. They alone are devotees, who are pleasing to Your Will. Nanak is forever a sacrifice to them. ||4||2||20||

I am a sacrifice to Him, forever and ever. ||2|| The Creator Himself has eliminated death. Meditate on Him forever and ever, O my mind. He watches all with His Glance of Grace and protects them. Continually and continuously, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord God. ||3|| The One and Only Creator Lord is Himself by Himself. The Lord’s devotees know His Glorious Grandeur. He preserves the Honor of His Name. Nanak speaks as the Lord inspires him to speak. ||4||3||21||

Chant the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, day and night. You shall obtain the fruits of your mind’s desires. ||1|| Pause|| No one else is as great as the True Guru. The Guru is the Supreme Lord, the Transcendent Lord God. He saves us from the pains of death and birth, and we will not have to taste the poison of Maya ever again. ||2|| The Guru’s glorious grandeur cannot be described. The Guru is the Transcendent Lord, in the True Name. True is His self-discipline, and True are all His actions.

By His Grace, the Guru’s Feet are enshrined within. Nanak offers his prayer to the True Lord God. ||4||4||22||

RAAG MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL, PARTAAL, THIRD HOUSE: ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: Pleasing the Guru, I have fallen in love with my Merciful Beloved Lord. I have made all my decorations, and renounced all corruption; my wandering mind has become steady and stable. ||1|| Pause|| O my mind, lose your self-conceit by associating with the Holy, and you shall find Him. The unstruck celestial melody vibrates and resounds; like a song-bird, chant the Lord’s Name, with words of sweetness and utter beauty. ||1|| Such is the glory of Your Darshan, so utterly inifinte and fruitful, O my Love; so do we become by associating with the Saints. Vibrating, chanting Your Name, we cross over the terrifying world-ocean. They dwell on the Lord, Raam, Raam, chanting on their malas; their minds are turned towards the Lord in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. O servant Nanak, their Beloved Lord seems so sweet to them. ||2||1||23||
