only a rare few are blessed with the dust of his feet. ||4||14||27||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

The mortal does not hesitate to think about sin.

He is not ashamed to spend time with prostitutes.

He works all day long,

but when it is time to remember the Lord, then a heavy stone falls on his head. ||1||

Attached to Maya, the world is deluded and confused.

The Deluder Himself has deluded the mortal, and now he is engrossed in worthless worldly affairs. ||1||Pause||

Gazing on Maya's illusion, its pleasures pass away.

He loves the shell, and ruins his life.

Bound to blind worldly affairs, his mind wavers and wanders.

The Creator Lord does not come into his mind. ||2||

Working and working like this, he only obtains pain,

and his affairs of Maya are never completed.

His mind is saturated with sexual desire, anger and greed.

Wiggling like a fish out of water, he dies. ||3||

One who has the Lord Himself as his Protector,

chants and meditates forever on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he chants the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

O Nanak, he has found the Perfect True Guru. ||4||15||28||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

He alone obtains it, unto whom the Lord shows Mercy.

He enshrines the Name of the Lord in his mind.

With the True Word of the Shabad in his heart and mind,

the sins of countless incarnations vanish. ||1||

The Lord's Name is the Support of the soul.

By Guru's Grace, chant the Name continually, O Siblings of Destiny; It shall carry you across the world-ocean. ||1||Pause||

Those who have this treasure of the Lord's Name written in their destiny,

those humble beings are honored in the Court of the Lord.

Singing His Glorious Praises with peace, poise and bliss,

even the homeless obtain a home hereafter. ||2||

Throughout the ages, this has been the essence of reality.

Meditate in remembrance on the Lord, and contemplate the Truth.

Section 28 - Raag Bhairao - Part 020

He alone is attached to the hem of the Lord's robe, whom the Lord Himself attaches.

Asleep for countless incarnations, he now awakens. ||3||

Your devotees belong to You, and You belong to Your devotees.

You Yourself inspire them to chant Your Praises.

All beings and creatures are in Your Hands.

Nanak's God is always with him. ||4||16||29||

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the Inner-knower of my heart.

The Naam is so useful to me.

The Lord's Name permeates each and every hair of mine.

The Perfect True Guru has given me this gift. ||1||

The Jewel of the Naam is my treasure.

It is inaccessible, priceless, infinite and incomparable. ||1||Pause||
