By Guru's Grace, I meditate forever on Him.

The fear of birth and death has been dispelled; emotional attachment, sorrow and suffering have been erased. ||3||

With each and every breath, Nanak praises the Lord.

Meditating in remembrance on the Name, all bonds are cut away.

One's hopes are fulfilled in an instant, chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, Har. ||4||27||34||

Maajh, Fifth Mehl:

Come, dear friends, Saints and companions:

let us join together and sing the Glorious Praises of the Inaccessible and Infinite Lord.

Those who sing and hear these praises are liberated, so let us meditate on the One who created us. ||1||

The sins of countless incarnations depart,

and we receive the fruits of the mind's desires.

So meditate on that Lord, our True Lord and Master, who gives sustenance to all. ||2||

Chanting the Naam, all pleasures are obtained.

All fears are erased, meditating on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

One who serves the Lord swims across to the other side, and all his affairs are resolved. ||3||

I have come to Your Sanctuary;

if it pleases You, unite me with You.

Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 012

Shower Your Mercy upon me, God; let me be committed to devotional worship. Nanak drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar of Truth. ||4||28||35||

Maajh, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord of the Universe, the Support of the earth, has become Merciful;

the rain is falling everywhere.

He is Merciful to the meek, always Kind and Gentle; the Creator has brought cooling relief. ||1||

He cherishes all His beings and creatures,

as the mother cares for her children.

The Destroyer of pain, the Ocean of Peace, the Lord and Master gives sustenance to all. ||2||

The Merciful Lord is totally pervading and permeating the water and the land.

I am forever devoted, a sacrifice to Him.

Night and day, I always meditate on Him; in an instant, He saves all. ||3||

God Himself protects all;

He drives out all sorrow and suffering.

Chanting the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the mind and body are rejuvenated. O Nanak, God has bestowed His Glance of Grace. ||4||29||36||

Maajh, Fifth Mehl:

Where the Naam, the Name of God the Beloved is chanted

-those barren places become mansions of gold.

Where the Naam, the Name of my Lord of the Universe is not chanted-those towns are like the barren wilderness. ||1||

One who meditates as he eats dry bread,

sees the Blessed Lord inwardly and outwardly.

Know this well, that one who eats and eats while practicing evil, is like a field of poisonous plants. ||2||

One who does not feel love for the Saints,

misbehaves in the company of the wicked shaaktas, the faithless cynics;
