The Word of Your Bani is the treasure of virtue. Please bless me with the dust of the feet of Your slaves; Nanak is a sacrifice. || 4 || 3 || 33 | BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: Keep me under Your Protection, God; shower me with Your Mercy. I do not know how to serve you; I am just a low-life fool. || 1 || I take pride in You, O my Darling Beloved. I am a sinner, continuously making mistakes; You are the Forgiving Lord. || 1 || Pause III make mistakes each and every day. You are the Great Giver; I am worthless. I associate with Maya, your hand-maiden, and I renounce You, God; such are my actions. || 2 || You bless me with everything, showering me with Mercy; And I am such an ungrateful wretch! I am attached to Your gifts, but I do not even think of You, O my Lord and Master. || 3 || There is none other than You, O Lord, Destroyer of fear. Says Nanak, I have come to Your Sanctuary, O Merciful Guru; I am so foolish - please, save me! || 4 || 4 || 34 || BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: Don't blame anyone else; meditate on your God. Serving Him, great peace is obtained; O mind, sing His Praises. || 1 II O Beloved, other than You, who else should I ask? You are my Merciful Lord and Master; I am filled with all faults. || 1 || Pause |As You keep me, I remain; there is no other way. You are the Support of the unsupported; You Name is my only Support. || 2 || One who accepts whatever You do as good – that mind is liberated. The entire creation is Yours; all are subject to Your Ways. || 3 || I wash Your Feet and serve You, if it pleases You, O Lord and Master. Be Merciful, O God of Compassion, that Nanak may sing Your Glorious Praises. || 4 || 5 || 35 || BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: Death hovers over his head, laughing, but the beast does not understand. Entangled in conflict, pleasure and egotism, he does not even think of death. || 1 || So serve your True Guru; why wander around miserable and unfortunate? You gaze upon the transitory, beautiful safflower, but why do you get attached to it? || 1 || Pause I You commit sins again and again, to gather wealth to spend. But your dust shall mix with dust; you shall arise and depart naked. || 2 || Those for whom you work, will become your spiteful enemies. In the end, they will run away from you; why do you burn for them in anger? || 3 || He alone becomes the dust of the Lord's slaves, who has such good karma upon his forehead. Says Nanak, he is released from bondage, in the Sanctuary of the True Guru. || 4 || 6 || 36 || BILAAVAL, FIFTH MEHL: The cripple crosses over the mountain, the fool becomes a wise man, and the blind man sees the three worlds, by meeting with the True Guru and being purified. ||1|| This is the Glory of the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; listen, O my friends. Filth is washed away, millions of sins are dispelled, and the consciousness becomes immaculate and pure. || 1 || Pause || Such is devotional worship of the Lord of the Universe, that the ant can overpower the elephant. Whoever the Lord makes His own, is blessed with the gift of fearlessness. || 2 ||
