-499The three gods, and the 330,000,000 demi-gods, were astonished. ||1|| The power of Maya is pervading everywhere. Her secret is known only by Guru's Grace – no one else knows it. || 1 || Pause 11 Conquering and conquering, she has conquered everywhere, and she clings to the whole world. Says Nanak, she surrenders to the Holy Saint; becoming his servant, she falls at his feet. || 2 || 5 || 14 || GUJRI, FIFTH MEHL: With my palms pressed together, I offer my prayer, meditating on my Lord and Master. Giving me His hand, the Transcendent Lord has saved me, and erased all my sins. || 1 || The Lord and Master Himself has become merciful. I have been emancipated, the embodiment of bliss; I am the child of the Lord of the Universe - He has carried me across. ||1|| Pause |Meeting her Husband, the soul-bride sings the songs of joy, and celebrates her Lord and Master. Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the Guru, who has emancipated everyone. || 2 || 6|| 15 || GUJRI, FIFTH MEHL: Mother, father, siblings, children and relatives - their power is insignificant. I have seen the many pleasures of Maya, but none goes with them in the end. ||1|| O Lord Master, other than You, no one is mine. I am a worthless orphan, devoid of merit; I long for Your Support. || 1 || Pause | I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice, a sacrifice to your lotus feet; here and hereafter, Yours is the only power. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, Nanak has obtained the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; my obligations to all others are annulled. || 2 || 7 || 16 || GUJRI, FIFTH MEHL: He rids us of entanglements, doubt and emotional attachment, and leads us to love God.

Meeting Him, the bonds of Maya are released, and one never forgets the Lord. || 1 || Pause || Practicing, practicing various actions in so many ways, I came to recognize this as the best way. Joining the Company of the Holy, Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. || 2 || 8 || 17 || GUJRI, FIFTH MEHL: In an instant, He establishes and disestablishes; His value cannot be described. He turns the king into a beggar in an instant, and He infuses splendor into the lowly. || 1 || Meditate forever on Your Lord. Why should I feel worry or anxiety, when I am here for only a short time. || 1 || Pause 11 You are my support, O my Perfect True Guru; my mind has taken to the protection of Your Sanctuary. Nanak, I am a foolish and ignorant child; reach out to me with Your hand, Lord, and save me. || 2 || 9 | 18 IL GUJRI, FIFTH MEHL: You are the Giver of all beings; please, come to dwell within my mind. That heart, within which Your lotus feet are enshrined, suffers no darkness or doubt. || 1 || O Lord Master, wherever I remember You, there I find You. Show Mercy to me, O God, Cherisher of all, that I may sing Your Praises forever. || 1 || Pause I With each and every breath, I contemplate Your Name; O God, I long for You alone.
