-1269Those who forget my Beloved Lord are dead and dying. || 1 || The Lord of the Universe is permeating and pervading my mind and body; I see Him Ever-present, here and now. O Nanak, He is permeating the inner being of all; He is all-pervading everywhere. || 2 || 8 || 12 || MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: Vibrating and meditating on the Lord, who has not been carried across? Those reborn into the body of a bird, the body of a fish, the body of a deer, and the body of a bull – in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, they are saved. || 1 || Pause II The families of gods, the families of demons, titans, celestial singers and human beings are carried across the ocean. Whoever meditates and vibrates on the Lord in the Saadh Sangat - his pains are taken away. || 1 || Sexual desire, anger and the pleasures of terrible corruption - he keeps away from these. He meditates on the Lord, Merciful to the meek, the Embodiment of Compassion; Nanak is forever a sacrifice to Him. || 2 || 9 || 13 | MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: Today, I am seated in the Lord's store. With the wealth of the Lord, I have entered into partnership with the humble; I shall not have take the Highway of Death. || 1 || Pause II Showering me with His Kindness, the Supreme Lord God has saved me; the doors of doubt have been opened wide. I have found God, the Banker of Infinity; I have earned the profit of the wealth of His Feet. || 1 | I have grasped the protection of the Sanctuary of the Unchanging, Unmoving, Imperishable Lord; He has picked up my sinful residues and thrown them out. Slave Nanak's sorrow and suffering has ended. He shall never again be squeezed into the mold of reincarnation. || 2 || 10 || 14 || MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: In so many ways, attachment to Maya leads to ruin. Among millions, it is very rare to find a selfless servant who remains a perfect devotee for very long. || 1 || Pause 11 Roaming and wandering here and there, the mortal finds only trouble; his body and wealth become strangers to himself. Hiding from people, he practices deception; he does not know the One who is always with him. || 1 || He wanders through troubled incarnations of low and wretched species as a deer, a bird and a fish. Says Nanak, O God, I am a stone - please carry me across, that I may enjoy peace in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. || 2 || 11 || 15 || MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: The cruel and evil ones died after taking poison, O mother. And the One, to whom all creatures belong, has saved us. God has granted His Grace. || 1 || Pause || The Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, is contained within all; why should I be afraid, O Siblings of Destiny? God, my Help and Support, is always with me. He shall never leave; I see Him everywhere. || 1 || He is the Master of the masterless, the Destroyer of the pains of the poor; He has attached me to the hem of His robe. O Lord, Your slaves live by Your Support; Nanak has come to the Sanctuary of God. || 2 || 12 || 16 || MALAAR, FIFTH MEHL: O my mind, dwell on the Feet of the Lord. My mind is enticed by thirst for the Blessed Vision of the Lord; I would take wings and fly out to meet Him. || 1 || Pause || Searching and seeking, I have found the Path, and now I serve the Holy. O my Lord and Master, please be kind to me, that I may drink in Your most sublime essence. || 1 || Begging and pleading, I have come to Your Sanctuary; I am on fire - please shower me with Your Mercy! Please give me Your Hand – I am Your slave, O Lord.
