He alone is a Dhurandhar, and he alone is a Basundhar, who is absorbed in the sublime essence of Love of the One Lord. ||1||Pause||

One who practices deception and does not know where true profit lies is not a Dhoorat - he is a fool.

He abandons profitable enterprises and is involved in unprofitable ones. He does not meditate on the Beauteous Lord God. ||1||

He alone is clever and wise and a religious scholar, he alone is a brave warrior, and he alone is intelligent,

who chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. O Nanak, he alone is approved. ||2||67||90||

Section 30 - Raag Saarang - Part 026

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord, Har, Har, is the life of the humble Saints.

Instead of enjoying corrupt pleasures, they drink in the Ambrosial Essence of the Name of the Lord, the Ocean of Peace. ||1||Pause||

They gather up the priceless wealth of the Lord's Name, and weave it into the fabric of their mind and body.

Imbued with the Lord's Love, their minds are dyed in the deep crimson color of devotional love; they are intoxicated with the sublime essence of the Lord's Name. ||1||

As the fish is immersed in water, they are absorbed in the Lord's Name.

O Nanak, the Saints are like the rainbirds; they are comforted, drinking in the drops of the Lord's Name. ||2||68||91||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

Without the Name of the Lord, the mortal is a ghost.

All the actions he commits are just shackles and bonds. ||1||Pause||

Without serving God, one who serves another wastes his time uselessly.

When the Messenger of Death comes to kill you, O mortal, what will your condition be then? ||1||

Please protect Your slave, O Eternally Merciful Lord.

O Nanak, my God is the Treasure of Peace; He is the wealth and property of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||2||69||92||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

My mind and body deal only in the Lord.

Imbued with loving devotional worship, I sing His Glorious Praises; I am not affected by worldly affairs. ||1||Pause||

This is the way of life of the Holy Saint: he listens to the Kirtan, the Praises of his Lord and Master, and meditates in remembrance on Him.

He implants the Lord's Lotus Feet deep within his heart; worship of the Lord is the support of his breath of life. ||1||

O God, Merciful to the meek, please hear my prayer, and shower Your Blessings upon me.

I continually chant the treasure of the Naam with my tongue; Nanak is forever a sacrifice. ||2||70||93||

Saarang, Fifth Mehl:

Without the Name of the Lord, his intellect is shallow.

He does not meditate in remembrance on the Lord, his Lord and Master; the blind fool suffers in terrible agony. ||1||Pause||
