Fifth Mehl:

Those who forget the Lord die, but they cannot die a complete death.

Those who turn their backs on the Lord suffer, like the thief impaled on the gallows. ||2||

Pauree:

The One God is the treasure of peace; I have heard that He is eternal and imperishable.

He is totally pervading the water, the land and the sky; the Lord is said to be permeating each and every heart.

He looks alike upon the high and the low, the ant and the elephant.

Friends, companions, children and relatives are all created by Him.

O Nanak, one who is blessed with the Naam, enjoys the Lord's love and affection. ||7||

Shalok, Fifth Mehl:

Those who do not forget the Lord, with each breath and morsel of food, whose minds are filled with the Mantra of the Lord's Name

Fifth Mehl:

O Sikhs, love the Word of the Shabad; in life and death, it is our only support.

Your face shall be radiant, and you shall find a lasting peace, O Nanak, remembering the One Lord in meditation. ||2||

Pauree:

There, the Ambrosial Nectar is distributed; the Lord is the Bringer of peace.

They are not placed upon the path of Death, and they shall not have to die again.

One who comes to savor the Lord's Love experiences it.
