Shri Guru Granth Sahib
Raag Gauree

Without the Lord God, there is no one else at all.

He alone preserves and destroys. ||1||Pause||

Enshrine the Guru's Feet in your heart.

Meditate on Him and cross over the ocean of fire. ||2||

Focus your meditation on the Guru's Sublime Form.

Here and hereafter, you shall be honored. ||3||

Renouncing everything, I have come to the Guru's Sanctuary.

My anxieties are over - O Nanak, I have found peace. ||4||61||130||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

Remembering Him in meditation, all pains are gone.

The jewel of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell in the mind. ||1||

O my mind, chant the Bani, the Hymns of the Lord of the Universe.

The Holy People chant the Lord's Name with their tongues. ||1||Pause||

Without the One Lord, there is no other at all.

By His Glance of Grace, eternal peace is obtained. ||2||

Make the One Lord your friend, intimate and companion.

Write in your mind the Word of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||

The Lord Master is totally pervading everywhere.

Nanak sings the Praises of the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts. ||4||62||131||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The whole world is engrossed in fear.

Those who have the Naam, the Name of the Lord, as their Support, feel no fear. ||1||

Fear does not affect those who take to Your Sanctuary.

You do whatever You please. ||1||Pause||

In pleasure and in pain, the world is coming and going in reincarnation.

Those who are pleasing to God, find peace. ||2||

Maya pervades the awesome ocean of fire.

Those who have found the True Guru are calm and cool. ||3||

Please preserve me, O God, O Great Preserver!

Says Nanak, what a helpless creature I am! ||4||63||132||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

By Your Grace, I chant Your Name.

By Your Grace, I obtain a seat in Your Court. ||1||

Without You, O Supreme Lord God, there is no one.

By Your Grace, everlasting peace is obtained. ||1||Pause||

If You abide in the mind, we do not suffer in sorrow.

By Your Grace, doubt and fear run away. ||2||

O Supreme Lord God, Infinite Lord and Master,

You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of all hearts. ||3||

I offer this prayer to the True Guru:

O Nanak, may I be blessed with the treasure of the True Name. ||4||64||133||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

As the husk is empty without the grain,

so is the mouth empty without the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||

O mortal, chant continually the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.

Without the Naam, cursed is the body, which shall be taken back by Death. ||1||Pause||

Without the Naam, no one's face shows good fortune.

Without the Husband, where is the marriage? ||2||

Forgetting the Naam, and attached to other tastes,

no desires are fulfilled. ||3||
