Each and every moment, You cherish and nurture me; I am Your child, and I rely upon You alone. ||1||
I have only one tongue - which of Your Glorious Virtues can I describe?

I seek Your Sanctuary - You are my only hope. You are my companion, and my best friend.
Save me, O Merciful Saviour Lord; Nanak is the slave of Your home. ||3||12||

Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, Nanak lives in the Love of God; his life-night passes in peace. ||3||13||
Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:
Is there anyone who can release me from my bondage, unite me with God, recite the Name of the Lord, Har, Har,
and make this mind steady and stable, so that it no longer wanders around? ||1||
Do I have any such friend?
I would give him all my property, my soul and my heart; I would devote my consciousness to him. ||1||Pause||
Others' wealth, others' bodies, and the slander of others - do not attach your love to them.
