In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the cycle of birth and death is ended.

To hear the Ambrosial Sermon is the support of my ears. ||2||

I have renounced sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment.

I have enshrined the Naam within myself, with charity, true cleansing and righteous conduct. ||3||

Says Nanak, I have contemplated this essence of reality;

chanting the Name of the Lord, I am carried across. ||4||12||18||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

The sinner is absorbed in greed and emotional attachment.

Section 19 - Raag Soohee - Part 014

He has not performed any service to the Creator Lord. ||1||

O God, Your Name is the Purifier of sinners.

I am worthless - please save me! ||1||Pause||

O God, You are the Great Giver, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.

The body of the egotistical human is perishable. ||2||

Tastes and pleasures, conflicts and jealousy, and intoxication with Maya

- attached to these, the jewel of human life is wasted. ||3||

The Sovereign Lord King is the Destroyer of pain, the Life of the world.

Forsaking everything, Nanak has entered His Sanctuary. ||4||13||19||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

He sees with his eyes, but he is called blind; he hears, but he does not hear.

And the One who dwells near at hand, he thinks that He is far away; the sinner is committing sins. ||1||

Do only those deeds which will save you, O mortal being.

Chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, and the Ambrosial Word of His Bani. ||1||Pause||

You are forever imbued with the love of horses and mansions.

Nothing shall go along with you. ||2||

You may clean and decorate the vessel of clay,

but it is so very filthy; it shall receive its punishment from the Messenger of Death. ||3||

You are bound by sexual desire, anger, greed and emotional attachment.

You are sinking down into the great pit. ||4||

Hear this prayer of Nanak, O Lord;

I am a stone, sinking down - please, rescue me! ||5||14||20||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

One who remains dead while yet alive understands God.

He meets that humble being according to the karma of his past actions. ||1||

Listen, O friend - this is how to cross over the terrifying world-ocean.

Meet with the Holy, and chant the Lord's Name||1||Pause||

There is no other to know, except for the One Lord.

So realize that the Supreme Lord God is within each and every heart. ||2||

Whatever He does, accept that as good.

Know the value of the beginning and the end. ||3||

Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to that humble being,

within whose heart the Lord dwells. ||4||15||21||

Soohee, Fifth Mehl:

The Guru is the Transcendent Lord, the Creator Lord.

He gives His Support to the entire Universe. ||1||
