I am meek; my Lord and Master is the Ocean of Mercy. I am absorbed in the nine treasures of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

I have prepared all sorts of foods in various ways, and all sorts of sweet deserts.

I have made my kitchen pure and sacred. Now, O my Sovereign Lord King, please sample my food. ||2||

The villains have been destroyed, and my friends are delighted. This is Your Own Mansion and Temple, O Lord.

When my Playful Beloved came into my household, then I found total peace. ||3||

In the Society of the Saints, I have the Support and Protection of the Perfect Guru; this is the pre-ordained destiny inscribed upon my forehead.

Servant Nanak has found his Playful Husband Lord. He shall never suffer in sorrow again. ||4||1||

Malaar, Fifth Mehl:

When the baby's only food is milk, it cannot survive without its milk.

The mother takes care of it, and pours milk into its mouth; then, it is satisfied and fulfilled. ||1||

I am just a baby; God, the Great Giver, is my Father.

The child is so foolish; it makes so many mistakes. But it has nowhere else to go. ||1||Pause||

The mind of the poor child is fickle; he touches even snakes and fire.

His mother and father hug him close in their embrace, and so he plays in joy and bliss. ||2||

What hunger can the child ever have, O my Lord and Master, when You are his Father?

The treasure of the Naam and the nine treasures are in Your celestial household. You fulfill the desires of the mind. ||3||

My Merciful Father has issued this Command: whatever the child asks for, is put into his mouth.

Nanak, the child, longs for the Blessed Vision of God's Darshan. May His Feet always dwell within my heart. ||4||2||

Malaar, Fifth Mehl:

I tried everything, and gathered all devices together; I have discarded all my anxieties.

I have begun to set all my household affairs right; I have placed my faith in my Lord and Master. ||1||

I listen to the celestial vibrations resonating and resounding.

Sunrise has come, and I gaze upon the Face of my Beloved. My household is filled with peace and pleasure. ||1||Pause||

I focus my mind, and embellish and adorn the place within; then I go out to speak with the Saints.

Seeking and searching, I have found my Husband Lord; I bow at His Feet and worship Him with devotion. ||2||

Section 31 - Raag Malaar - Part 014

When my Beloved came to live in my house, I began to sing the songs of bliss.

My friends and companions are happy; God leads me to meet the Perfect Guru. ||3||

My friends and companions are in ecstasy; the Guru has completed all my projects.

Says Nanak, I have met my Husband, the Giver of peace; He shall never leave me and go away. ||4||3||

Malaar, Fifth Mehl:
