ੴ

Salok, Fifth Mehl:

He has widened the narrow path for me, and preserved my integrity, along with that of my family.

He Himself has arranged and resolved my affairs. I dwell upon that God forever.

God is my mother and father; He hugs me close in His embrace, and cherishes me, like His tiny baby.

All beings and creatures have become kind and compassionate to me. O Nanak, the Lord has blessed me with His Glance of Grace. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

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

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

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

Pauree:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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