I am mistaken; You are never mistaken. I am a sinner; You are the Saving Grace of sinners.

I am a lowly thorn-tree, and You are the sandalwood tree. Please preserve my honor by staying with me; please stay with me. ||1||

You are deep and profound, calm and benevolent. What am I? Just a poor helpless being.

The Merciful Guru Nanak has united me with the Lord. I lay on His Bed of Peace. ||2||22||45||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

O my mind, blessed and approved is that day,

and fruitful is that hour, and lucky is that moment, when the True Guru blesses me with spirtual wisdom. ||1||Pause||

Blessed is my good destiny, and blessed is my Husband Lord. Blessed are those upon whom honor is bestowed.

This body is Yours, all my home and wealth are Yours; I offer my heart as a sacrifice to You. ||1||

I obtain tens of thousands and millions of regal pleasures, if I gaze upon Your Blessed Vision, even for an instant.

When You, O God, say, "My servant, stay here with me", Nanak knows unlimited peace. ||2||23||46||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

Now I am rid of my skepticism and sorrow.

I have abandoned and forsaken all other efforts, and come to the Sanctuary of the True Guru. ||1||Pause||

I have attained total perfection, and all my works are perfectly completed; the illness of egotism has been totally eradicated.

Millions of sins are destroyed in an instant; meeting with the Guru, I chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

Subduing the five thieves, he Guru has made them my slaves; my mind has become stable and steady and fearless.

It does not come or go in reincarnation; it does not waver or wander anywhere. O Nanak, my empire is eternal. ||2||24||47||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

Here and hereafter, God is forever my Help and Support.

He is the Enticer of my mind, the Beloved of my soul. What Glorious Praises of His can I sing and chant? ||1||Pause||

He plays with me, He fondles and caresses me. Forever and ever, He blesses me with bliss.

He cherishes me, like the father and the mother love their child. ||1||

I cannot survive without Him, even for an instant; I shall never forget Him.

Section 30 - Raag Saarang - Part 018

Says Nanak, joining the Society of the Saints, I am enraptured, lovingly attuned to my Lord. ||2||25||48||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

Sing of your Lord and Master, your Best Friend.

Do not place your hopes in anyone else; meditate on God, the Giver of peace. ||1||Pause||

Peace, joy and salvation are in His Home. Seek the Protection of His Sanctuary.

But if you forsake Him, and serve mortal beings, your honor will dissolve like salt in water. ||1||

I have grasped the Anchor and Support of my Lord and Master; meeting with the Guru, I have found wisdom and understanding.
