The treacherous world-ocean is filled with terrible pain.

Without the Lord's Name, how can anyone cross over? ||3||

Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, you shall be saved here and hereafter.

O Nanak, worship and adore the Name of the Lord. ||4||97||166||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The bearded emperor who struck down the poor,

has been burnt in the fire by the Supreme Lord God. ||1||

The Creator administers true justice.

He is the Saving Grace of His slaves. ||1||Pause||

In the beginning, and throughout the ages, His glory is manifest.

The slanderer died after contracting the deadly fever. ||2||

He is killed, and no one can save him.

Here and hereafter, his reputation is evil. ||3||

The Lord hugs His slaves close in His Embrace.

Nanak seeks the Lord's Sanctuary, and meditates on the Naam. ||4||98||167||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The memorandum was proven to be false by the Lord Himself.

The sinner is now suffering in despair. ||1||

Those who have my Lord of the Universe as their support

- death does not even approach them. ||1||Pause||

In the True Court, they lie;

the blind fools strike their own heads with their own hands. ||2||

Sickness afflicts those who commit sins;

God Himself sits as the Judge. ||3||

By their own actions, they are bound and gagged.

All their wealth is gone, along with their lives. ||4||

Nanak has taken to the Sanctuary of the Lord's Court;

my Creator has preserved my honor. ||5||99||168||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The dust of the feet of the humble beings is so sweet to my mind.

Perfect karma is the mortal's pre-ordained destiny. ||1||Pause||

Section 07 - Raag Gauree - Part 050

The mind is overflowing with the greasy dirt of egotistical pride.

With the dust of the feet of the Holy, it is scrubbed clean. ||1||

The body may be washed with loads of water,

and yet its filth is not removed, and it does not become clean. ||2||

I have met the True Guru, who is merciful forever.

Meditating, meditating in remembrance on the Lord, I am rid of the fear of death. ||3||

Liberation, pleasures and worldly success are all in the Lord's Name.

With loving devotional worship, O Nanak, sing His Glorious Praises. ||4||100||169||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord's slaves attain the highest status of life.

Meeting them, the soul is enlightened. ||1||

Those who listen with their mind and ears to the Lord's meditative remembrance,

are blessed with peace at the Lord's Gate, O mortal. ||1||Pause||

Twenty-four hours a day, meditate on the Sustainer of the World.

O Nanak, gazing on the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, I am enraptured. ||2||101||170||
