The Guru's Instruction is the Word, by which the wandering mind is restrained.

Through the Guru's Teachings, we can endure pain and pleasure alike.

To live as Gurmukh is the lifestyle by which we come to meditate on the Supreme Lord. The Gurmukh sings the Kirtan of His Praises. ||8||

The Lord Himself created the entire creation.

He Himself acts, and causes others to act. He Himself establishes.

From oneness, He has brought forth the countless multitudes. O Nanak, they shall merge into the One once again. ||9||2||36||

Maajh, Fifth Mehl:

God is Eternal and Imperishable, so why should anyone be anxious?

The Lord is Wealthy and Prosperous, so His humble servant should feel totally secure.

O Giver of peace of the soul, of life, of honor-as You ordain, I obtain peace. ||1||

I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to that Gurmukh whose mind and body are pleased with You.

You are my mountain, You are my shelter and shield. No one can rival You. ||1||Pause||

That person, unto whom Your actions seem sweet,

comes to see the Supreme Lord God in each and every heart.

In all places and interspaces, You exist. You are the One and Only Lord, pervading everywhere. ||2||

You are the Fulfiller of all the mind's desires.

Your treasures are overflowing with love and devotion.

Showering Your Mercy, You protect those who, through perfect destiny, merge into You. ||3||

Section 06 - Raag Maajh - Part 039

You pulled me out of the deep, dark well onto the dry ground.

Showering Your Mercy, You blessed Your servant with Your Glance of Grace.

I sing the Glorious Praises of the Perfect, Immortal Lord. By speaking and hearing these Praises, they are not used up. ||4||

Here and hereafter, You are our Protector.

In the womb of the mother, You cherish and nurture the baby.

The fire of Maya does not affect those who are imbued with the Lord's Love; they sing His Glorious Praises. ||5||

What Praises of Yours can I chant and contemplate?

Deep within my mind and body, I behold Your Presence.

You are my Friend and Companion, my Lord and Master. Without You, I do not know any other at all. ||6||

O God, that one, unto whom You have given shelter,

is not touched by the hot winds.

O my Lord and Master, You are my Sanctuary, the Giver of peace. Chanting, meditating on You in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, You are revealed. ||7||

You are Exalted, Unfathomable, Infinite and Invaluable.

You are my True Lord and Master. I am Your servant and slave.

You are the King, Your Sovereign Rule is True. Nanak is a sacrifice, a sacrifice to You. ||8||3||37||

Maajh, Fifth Mehl, Second House:

Continually, continuously, remember the Merciful Lord.

Never forget Him from your mind. ||Pause||
