I humbly bow to the Name of the Lord.

Chanting it, one is saved. ||1||Pause||

Meditating on Him in remembrance, conflicts are ended.

Meditating on Him, one's bonds are untied.

Meditating on Him, the fool becomes wise.

Meditating on Him, one's ancestors are saved. ||1||

Meditating on Him, fear and pain are taken away.

Meditating on Him, misfortune is avoided.

Meditating on Him, sins are erased.

Meditating on Him, agony is ended. ||2||

Meditating on Him, the heart blossoms forth.

Meditating on Him, Maya becomes one's slave.

Meditating on Him, one is blessed with the treasures of wealth.

Meditating on Him, one crosses over in the end. ||3||

The Name of the Lord is the Purifier of sinners.

It saves millions of devotees.

I am meek; I seek the Sanctuary of the slaves of the Lord's slaves.

Nanak lays his forehead on the feet of the Saints. ||4||2||

Maalee Gauraa, Fifth Mehl:

This is the sort of helper the Name of the Lord is.

Meditating in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, one's affairs are perfectly resolved. ||1||Pause||

It is like a boat to a drowning man.

Section 24 - Raag Maale Gaaura - Part 004

It is like oil to the lamp whose flame is dying out.

It is like water poured on the burning fire.

It is like milk poured into the baby's mouth. ||1||

As one's brother becomes a helper on the field of battle;

as one's hunger is satisfied by food;

as the cloudburst saves the crops;

as one is protected in the tiger's lair;||2||

As with the magic spell of Garuda the eagle upon one's lips, one does not fear the snake;

as the cat cannot eat the parrot in its cage;

as the bird cherishes her eggs in her heart;

as the grains are spared, by sticking to the central post of the mill;||3||

Your Glory is so great; I can describe only a tiny bit of it.

O Lord, You are inaccessible, unapproachable and unfathomable.

You are lofty and high, utterly great and infinite.

Meditating in remembrance on the Lord, O Nanak, one is carried across. ||4||3||

Maalee Gauraa, Fifth Mehl:

Please let my works be rewarding and fruitful.

Please cherish and exalt Your slave. ||1||Pause||

I lay my forehead on the feet of the Saints,

and with my eyes, I gaze upon the Blessed Vision of their Darshan, day and night.

With my hands, I work for the Saints.

I dedicate my breath of life, my mind and wealth to the Saints. ||1||

My mind loves the Society of the Saints.

The Virtues of the Saints abide within my consciousness.

The Will of the Saints is sweet to my mind.

Seeing the Saints, my heart-lotus blossoms forth. ||2||

I dwell in the Society of the Saints.
