Do only that, by which no filth or pollution shall stick to you.
Let your mind remain awake and aware, singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises. ||1||Pause||
Meditate in remembrance on the One Lord; do not be in love with duality.
In the Society of the Saints, chant only the Name. ||1||
The karma of good actions, the Dharma of righteous living, religious rituals, fasts and worship
- practice these, but do not know any other than the Supreme Lord God. ||2||
Their works are brought to fruition,
if they place their love in God. ||3||
Infinitely invaluable is that Vaishnaav, that worshipper of Vishnu,
says Nanak, who has renounced corruption. ||4||96||165||

They desert you even when you are alive, O madman;
what good can they do when someone is dead? ||1||
Meditate in remembrance on the Lord of the Universe in your mind and body - this is your pre-ordained destiny.
The poison of Maya is of no use at all. ||1||Pause||

- their thirst shall never depart. ||2||

O Nanak, worship and adore the Name of the Lord. ||4||97||166||

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
The memorandum was proven to be false by the Lord Himself.
The sinner is now suffering in despair. ||1||
Those who have my Lord of the Universe as their support
- death does not even approach them. ||1||Pause||
In the True Court, they lie;
the blind fools strike their own heads with their own hands. ||2||
Sickness afflicts those who commit sins;
God Himself sits as the Judge. ||3||
By their own actions, they are bound and gagged.
All their wealth is gone, along with their lives. ||4||

my Creator has preserved my honor. ||5||99||168||
