ਮਃ ੫ ॥

mahalaa 5 |

Fifth Mehl:

ਜੀਵਨ ਪਦੁ ਨਿਰਬਾਣੁ ਇਕੋ ਸਿਮਰੀਐ ॥

jeevan pad nirabaan iko simareeai |

To obtain the state of life of Nirvaanaa, meditate in remembrance on the One Lord.

ਦੂਜੀ ਨਾਹੀ ਜਾਇ ਕਿਨਿ ਬਿਧਿ ਧੀਰੀਐ ॥

doojee naahee jaae kin bidh dheereeai |

There is no other place; how else can we be comforted?

ਡਿਠਾ ਸਭੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ਸੁਖੁ ਨ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨੁ ॥

dditthaa sabh sansaar sukh na naam bin |

I have seen the whole world - without the Lord's Name, there is no peace at all.

ਤਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਹੋਸੀ ਛਾਰੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਕੋਇ ਜਨੁ ॥

tan dhan hosee chhaar jaanai koe jan |

Body and wealth shall return to dust - hardly anyone realizes this.

ਰੰਗ ਰੂਪ ਰਸ ਬਾਦਿ ਕਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਪਰਾਣੀਆ ॥

rang roop ras baad ki kareh paraaneea |

Pleasure, beauty and delicious tastes are useless; what are you doing, O mortal?

ਜਿਸੁ ਭੁਲਾਏ ਆਪਿ ਤਿਸੁ ਕਲ ਨਹੀ ਜਾਣੀਆ ॥

jis bhulaae aap tis kal nahee jaaneea |

One whom the Lord Himself misleads, does not understand His awesome power.

ਰੰਗਿ ਰਤੇ ਨਿਰਬਾਣੁ ਸਚਾ ਗਾਵਹੀ ॥

rang rate nirabaan sachaa gaavahee |

Those who are imbued with the Love of the Lord attain Nirvaanaa, singing the Praises of the True One.

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਣਿ ਦੁਆਰਿ ਜੇ ਤੁਧੁ ਭਾਵਹੀ ॥੨॥

naanak saran duaar je tudh bhaavahee |2|

Nanak: those who are pleasing to Your Will, O Lord, seek Sanctuary at Your Door. ||2||
