Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:
Whatever You wish, You do. Without You, there is nothing.
Gazing upon Your Glory, the Messenger of Death leaves and goes away. ||1||
By Your Grace, one is emancipated, and egotism is dispelled.
God is omnipotent, possessing all powers; He is obtained through the Perfect, Divine Guru. ||1||Pause||
Searching, searching, searching - without the Naam, everything is false.
All the comforts of life are found in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy; God is the Fulfiller of desires. ||2||
Whatever You attach me to, to that I am attached; I have burnt away all my cleverness.
You are permeating and pervading everywhere, O my Lord, Merciful to the meek. ||3||
I ask for everything from You, but only the very fortunate ones obtain it.
This is Nanak's prayer, O God, I live by singing Your Glorious Praises. ||4||12||42||
