1267 Seeking and searching, I have found my Husband Lord; I bow at His Feet and worship Him with devotion. ॥2॥ When my Beloved came to live in my house, I began to sing the songs of bliss. My friends and companions are happy; God leads me to meet the Perfect Guru. ॥3॥ My friends and companions are in ecstasy; the Guru has completed all my projects. Says Nanak, I have met my Husband, the Giver of peace; He shall never leave me and go away. ॥4॥3॥ MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: From a king to a worm, and from a worm to the lord of gods, they engage in evil to fill their bellies. They renounce the Lord, the Ocean of Mercy, and worship some other; they are thieves and killers of the soul. ॥1॥ Forgetting the Lord, they suffer in sorrow and die. They wander lost in reincarnation through all sorts of species; they do not find shelter anywhere. ॥1॥ Pause॥ Those who abandon their Lord and Master and think of some other, are foolish, stupid, idiotic donkeys. How can they cross over the ocean in a paper boat? Their eogtistical boasts that they will cross over are meaningless. ॥2॥ Shiva, Brahma, angels and demons, all burn in the fire of death. Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Lord’s Lotus Feet; O God, Creator, please do not send me into exile. ॥3॥4॥ RAAG MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL, DU-PADAS, FIRST HOUSE:
  ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: My God is detached and free of desire. I cannot survive without Him, even for an instant. I am so in love with Him. ॥1॥ Pause॥ Associating with the Saints, God has come into my consciousness. By their Grace, I have been awakened. Hearing the Teachings, my mind has become immaculate. Imbued with the Lord’s Love, I sing His Glorious Praises. ॥1॥ Dedicating this mind, I have made friends with the Saints. They have become merciful to me; I am very fortunate. I have found absolute peace — I cannot describe it. Nanak has obtained the dust of the feet of the humble. ॥2॥1॥5॥ MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: O mother, please lead me to union with my Beloved. All my friends and companions sleep totally in peace; their Beloved Lord has come into the homes of their hearts. ॥1॥ Pause॥ I am worthless; God is forever Merciful. I am unworthy; what clever tricks could I try? I claim to be on a par with those who are imbued with the Love of their Beloved. This is my stubborn egotism. ॥1॥ I am dishonored — I seek the Sanctuary of the One, the Guru, the True Guru, the Primal Being, the Giver of peace. In an instant, all my pains have been taken away; Nanak passes the night of his life in peace. ॥2॥2॥6॥ MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: Rain down, O cloud; do not delay. O beloved cloud, O support of the mind, you bring lasting bliss and joy to the mind. ॥1॥ Pause॥
