When the Guru showers His Grace upon us, He blesses us with the Naam; through the Naam, we merge in the Naam. ॥2॥ You Yourself are the True Creator Lord.

Within is the terrible darkness of greed, and so they come and go in reincarnation, over and over again. ॥7॥ The Creator Himself bestows Glory on those whom He Himself has so pre-destined. O Nanak, they receive the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the Destroyer of fear; through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, they find peace. ॥8॥1॥34॥ MAAJH, FIFTH MEHL, FIRST HOUSE: The Unseen Lord is within, but He cannot be seen.

Through the Word of the Guru’s Shabad, He is known. ॥1॥ I am a sacrifice, my soul is a sacrifice, to those who chant the Naam, in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga. The Beloved Saints were established by the True Lord. By great good fortune, the Blessed Vision of their Darshan is obtained. ॥1॥ Pause॥ The One who is sought by the Siddhas and the seekers, upon whom Brahma and Indra meditate within their hearts, whom the thirty-three million demi-gods search for—meeting the Guru, one comes to sing His Praises within the heart. ॥2॥ Twenty-four hours a day, the wind breathes Your Name. The earth is Your servant, a slave at Your Feet. In the four sources of creation, and in all speech, You dwell. You are dear to the minds of all. ॥3॥ The True Lord and Master is known to the Gurmukhs. He is realized through the Shabad, the Word of the Perfect Guru. Those who drink it in are satisfied.

There is no other Giver as Great as You, O my Lord and Master. None approach or equal You. ॥6॥ Those who are pleasing to You meditate on You. They practice the Mantra of the Holy. They themselves swim across, and they save all their ancestors and families as well.
