By myself, I cannot do anything, O my Lord and Master; by Your Grace, please bless me with Your Name. ||1||Pause||

Family and worldly affairs are an ocean of fire.

Through doubt, emotional attachment and ignorance, we are enveloped in darkness. ||1||

High and low, pleasure and pain.

Hunger and thirst are not satisfied. ||2||

The mind is engrossed in passion, and the disease of corruption.

The five thieves, the companions, are totally incorrigible. ||3||

The beings and souls and wealth of the world are all Yours.

O Nanak, know that the Lord is always near at hand. ||4||1||19||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

The Lord and Master destroys the pain of the poor; He preserves and protects the honor of His servants.

The Lord is the ship to carry us across; He is the treasure of virtue - pain cannot touch Him. ||1||

In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, meditate, vibrate upon the Lord of the world.

I cannot think of any other way; make this effort, and make it in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. ||Pause||

In the beginning, and in the end, there is none other than the perfect, merciful Lord.

The cycle of birth and death is ended, chanting the Lord's Name, and remembering the Lord Master in meditation. ||2||

The Vedas, the Simritees, the Shaastras and the Lord's devotees contemplate Him;

liberation is attained in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and the darkness of ignorance is dispelled. ||3||

The lotus feet of the Lord are the support of His humble servants. They are his only capital and investment.

Section 14 - Raag Dhanaasaree - Part 017

The True Lord is Nanak's strength, honor and support; He alone is his protection. ||4||2||20||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

Wandering and roaming around, I met the Holy Perfect Guru, who has taught me.

All other devices did not work, so I meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||

For this reason, I sought the Protection and Support of my Lord, the Cherisher of the Universe.

I sought the Sanctuary of the Perfect Transcendent Lord, and all my entanglements were dissolved. ||Pause||

Paradise, the earth, the nether regions of the underworld, and the globe of the world - all are engrossed in Maya.

To save your soul, and liberate all your ancestors, meditate on the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||2||

O Nanak, singing the Naam, the Name of the Immaculate Lord, all treasures are obtained.

Only that rare person, whom the Lord and Master blesses with His Grace, comes to know this. ||3||3||21||

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl, Second House, Chau-Padas:

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

You shall have to abandon the straw which you have collected.

These entanglements shall be of no use to you.

You are in love with those things that will not go with you.
