Says Nanak, sing continually the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

Your face shall be radiant, and your consciousness shall be immaculately pure. ||4||19||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

The nine treasures are Yours - all treasures are Yours.

The Fulfiller of desires saves mortals in the end. ||1||

You are my Beloved, so what hunger can I have?

When You dwell within my mind, pain does not touch me. ||1||Pause||

Whatever You do, is acceptable to me.

O True Lord and Master, True is Your Order. ||2||

When it is pleasing to Your Will, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

Within Your Home, there is justice, forever and ever. ||3||

O True Lord and Master, You are unknowable and mysterious.

Nanak is committed to Your service. ||4||20||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

He is near at hand; He is the eternal Companion of the soul.

His Creative Power is all-pervading, in form and color. ||1||

My mind does not worry; it does not grieve, or cry out.

Imperishable, Unshakable, Unapproachable and forever safe and sound is my Husband Lord. ||1||Pause||

Unto whom does Your servant pay homage?

His King preserves his honor. ||2||

That slave, whom God has released from the restrictions of social status

- who can now hold him in bondage? ||3||

The Lord is absolutely independent, and totally care-free;

O servant Nanak, chant His Glorious Praises. ||4||21||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Forsaking the Lord's sublime essence, the mortal is intoxicated with false essences.

The substance is within the home of the self, but the mortal goes out to find it. ||1||

He cannot hear the true ambrosial discourse.

Attached to false scriptures, he is engaged in argument. ||1||Pause||

He takes his wages from his Lord and Master, but he serves another.

With such sins, the mortal is engrossed. ||2||

He tries to hide from the One who is always with him.

He begs from Him, again and again. ||3||

Says Nanak, God is merciful to the meek.

As it pleases Him, He cherishes us. ||4||22||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is my soul, my life, my wealth.

Here and hereafter, it is with me, to help me. ||1||

Without the Lord's Name, everything else is useless.

My mind is satisfied and satiated by the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan. ||1||Pause||

Gurbani is the jewel, the treasure of devotion.

Singing, hearing and acting upon it, one is enraptured. ||2||

My mind is attached to the Lord's Lotus Feet.

The True Guru, in His Pleasure, has given this gift. ||3||

Unto Nanak, the Guru has revealed these instructions:

recognize the Imperishable Lord God in each and every heart. ||4||23||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

The All-pervading Lord has established joys and celebrations.
