O mortal, get aboard the boat of the Lord's Lotus Feet, and cross over.

Twenty-four hours a day, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause||

You may enjoy various pleasures, but they are useless without the Name.

Without devotion to the Lord, you shall die in sorrow, again and again. ||2||

You may dress and eat and apply scented oils to your body,

but without the meditative remembrance of the Lord, your body shall surely turn to dust, and you shall have to depart. ||3||

How very treacherous is this world-ocean; how very few realize this!

Salvation rests in the Lord's Sanctuary; O Nanak, this is your pre-ordained destiny. ||4||8||110||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

No one is anyone's companion; why take any pride in others?

With the Support of the One Name, this terrible world-ocean is crossed over. ||1||

You are the True Support of me, the poor mortal, O my Perfect True Guru.

Gazing upon the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, my mind is encouraged. ||1||Pause||

Royal powers, wealth, and worldly involvements are of no use at all.

The Kirtan of the Lord's Praise is my Support; this wealth is everlasting. ||2||

As many as are the pleasures of Maya, so many are the shadows they leave.

The Gurmukhs sing of the Naam, the treasure of peace. ||3||

You are the True Lord, the treasure of excellence; O God, You are deep and unfathomable.

The Lord Master is the hope and support of Nanak's mind. ||4||9||111||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

Remembering Him, suffering is removed, and celestial peace is obtained.

Night and day, with your palms pressed together, meditate on the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

He alone is Nanak's God, unto whom all beings belong.

He is totally pervading everywhere, the Truest of the True. ||1||Pause||

Inwardly and outwardly, He is my companion and my helper; He is the One to be realized.

Adoring Him, my mind is cured of all its ailments. ||2||

The Savior Lord is infinite; He saves us from the fire of the womb.

Section 08 - Raag Aasaa - Part 053

The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is soothing and cool; remembering it in meditation, the inner fire is quenched. ||3||

Peace, poise, and immense bliss, O Nanak, are obtained, when one becomes the dust of the feet of the humble servants of the Lord.

All of one's affairs are perfectly resolved, meeting with the Perfect Guru. ||4||10||112||

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord of the Universe is the treasure of excellence; He is known only to the Gurmukh.

When He shows His Mercy and Kindness, we revel in the Lord's Love. ||1||

Come, O Saints - let us join together and speak the Sermon of the Lord.
