The sight of them banishes my evil-mindedness; they are my only true friends.

I have searched the whole world; O servant Nanak, how rare are such persons! ||2||

Pauree:

You come to mind, O Lord and Master, when I behold Your devotees.

The filth of my mind is removed, when I dwell in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.

The fear of birth and death is dispelled, meditating on the Word of His humble servant.

The Saints untie the bonds, and all the demons are dispelled.

They inspire us to love Him, the One who established the entire universe.

The seat of the inaccessible and infinite Lord is the highest of the high.

Night and day, with your palms pressed together, with each and every breath, meditate on Him.

When the Lord Himself becomes merciful, then we attain the Society of His devotees. ||9||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

In this wondrous forest of the world, there is chaos and confusion; shrieks emanate from the highways.

I am in love with You, O my Husband Lord; O Nanak, I cross the jungle joyfully. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

The true society is the company of those who meditate on the Name of the Lord.

Do not associate with those, O Nanak, who look out only for their own interests. ||2||

Pauree:

Approved is that time, when one meets the True Guru.

Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he does not suffer pain again.

When he attains the eternal place, he does not have to enter the womb again.

He comes to see the One God everywhere.

He focuses his meditation on the essence of spiritual wisdom, and withdraws his attention from other sights.

All chants are chanted by one who chants them with his mouth.

Realizing the Hukam of the Lord's Command, he becomes happy, and he is filled with peace and tranquility.

Those who are assayed, and placed in the Lord's treasury, are not declared counterfeit again. ||10||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

The pincers of separation are so painful to endure.

If only the Master would come to meet me! O Nanak, I would then obtain all the true comforts. ||1||

Fifth Mehl:

The earth is in the water, and the fire is contained in the wood.

O Nanak, yearn for that Lord, who is the Support of all. ||2||

Pauree:

The works which You have done, O Lord, could only have been performed by You.

That alone happens in the world, which You, O Master, have done.

I am wonderstruck beholding the wonder of Your Almighty Creative Power.

I seek Your Sanctuary - I am Your slave; if it is Your Will, I shall be emancipated.

The treasure is in Your Hands; according to Your Will, You bestow it.

One, upon whom You have bestowed Your Mercy, is blessed with the Lord's Name.
