Ever since I (bidaarey) drove out (dustt) evil thoughts, (saajan = friends) good thoughts (rahsaaey) have blossomed, since then the Almighty (apanaaey = made own) patronized (ih-i) this (mandar, ghar = house) mind.

(Jau) as the (laal-u) beloved (rangeeo/rangeela = fun loving) playful master (aaiaa) came, (tau) since then I (paaey) have obtained (sabh-i) all (sukh) comforts/peace. 3.

With (leykh-u = writing) it being so (likhaaey) written (dhur-i = from source) by the Almighty (mastak-i = on forehead) in destiny, I received (ott) protection/guidance in (sabha = assembly) congregation of (poorey) the perfect (gur) guru; I (paaiaa) found (rangeelaa = playful) joy-giving (kant-u = spouse) the Almighty-husband within, says (jan) humble fifth Nanak. 4. 1.

Composition of (mahla 5) the fifth Guru in Raga Malaar: (Jab) when (baarik = child) the baby (hota) is (adhaar-i = support of) dependent only on (kheer) milk, it (na jaaee) cannot (rahan-u) remain/live (bin-u) without (kheerai) milk.

(Maataa) the mother (samhaal-i = keeps in mind) is aware of its (saar-i) state/condition – as to when it needs to be fed and – (neerai) puts her teat (mukh-i) in its mouth and (tab) then (oh-u = that) the baby (tripat-i aghaaee = satiated) satisfied – similarly God helps one who places the self in Divine care and obedience. 1.

(Ham) we creatures are (baarik) children and (prabh-u) the Almighty is (daataa = giver) the caring (pitaa) father. (Baarik) a child may (bhoolah-i = makes mistakes) transgress (anik) many (lakh) lakhs of – countless – (bareeaa) times – but does not go anywhere; as there is (naahi) no (tthaur) place where it can (jaata) go for help, similarly we may make mistakes, o Almighty, but are still Yours. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

It is (mat-i) nature of (bapurey) the helpless (baarik) child to be (chanchal = moving) carelessly playful; it (meylai = joins) puts its (kar) hand on (sarap) a snake and (agan-i) in fire.

But (maataa) the mother and (pitaa) father (raakhai) keeps it (laaey = touching, kantth-i = with throat) in embrace/protected and it (kheylai) plays (sahj-i) naturally with (anad/anand) joy – without harm. Similarly the creatures tend to be tempted by vices but God gives them the sense – gives them realization – and they avoid vices. 2.

O (meyrey) my (suaami) Master, one (ka = of, jis = who) whose (pitaa) father (too) You are, i.e. one who accepts and obeys You, (tis-u) that (baarik) child has (kaisi = what?) no (bhookh) hunger, i.e. lacks nothing.

(Nidhaan-u) the treasure of (nav nidh-i = nine treasures) the wealth of awareness of (naam-u) Naam or Divine virtues and commands is availably in (teyrai) Your (grih-i) house, o Almighty, i.e. everything is achieved by leading life by Naam – Divine commands; one who (baanchhai) seeks, motivated from within, (so) that person (laisi = shall take) receives that awareness. 3.

(Kripaal-i) the kind Almighty (pitaa) father has (deeni) given (ih) this (aagiaa) direction; (deyna) give (so = that) whatever the obedient (baarik) child (maangai) asks, i.e. God has made the Divine law that one who follows Naam – rules of life – achieves everything.

This (baarik-u = child) seeker (chaahai) wishes for (daras-u) vision; may (charna) feet of (har-i) the Almighty (nit) ever (basah-i) abide in (moh-i) my (hirdai) mind, i.e. I live by – awareness of Divine virtues and commands, says fifth Nanak. 4. 2.

Composition of (mahla 5) the fifth Guru in Raga Malaar: With the longing to find God within, I (jur-i) gathered (sagal) all (bidhi) things, i.e. thought of what was wrong and (kariaa) made (aahar-u) efforts to transform the self, (tajio) giving up (sagal) all (andeysa) worries – about whether I would find God.

I (arambhio) commenced (sagal = all) the all round (kaaraj-u) task of cleansing (ghar = house) the mind (ka) of other ideas with (bhaarosa) faith in (tthakur) the Master. 1.

I (jaaey) went and (poochhau) asked (santa = saints) the devotees, and as advised, I (laaey) applied my (manooaa) mind to (savaarey = transform) cleanse (thaa-n-naa = places) my innerself of other ideas and looked within.

(Khojat khojat) while searching, mai) I found within myself, (paahun = guest) the Almighty who seemed to have gone out earlier – I became aware of Naam which I had forgotten; and (niv-i = bowing, paaey = to feet) respectfully (karau) practice (bhagat-i) devotion, i.e. am in obedience of the Almighty. 2.

Composition of (mahla 5) the fifth Guru in Raga Malaar: (Tey) from (raaj) kings to (keett = worms) the lowly, from the lowly to (surpat-i) the king of gods – Indra; all of them (kar-i) commit (dokh = faults) transgressions to (bhartey) fill their (jatthar kau) bellies, i.e. for material gains.

They (chhodd-i) forsake the Almighty (nidh-i) the treasure-house of (kripa) kindness and (poojah-i) worship (aan kau) others; they (aatam ghaati) commit suicide – harm themselves – as they (hartey) drive out Naam or Divine virtues and commands from their minds. 1.

Those who (tiaag-i) forsake (suaami) the Master and (chitvat) think of (aan kau) others, (tey) they are (moorr mugadh) foolish (khar) asses, i.e. they never learn.

(Naav) a boat of (kaagar) paper (kat = when) can never (langhaavah-i) ferry one across (saagar) the ocean; they (kartey) make (britha = empty, kathat = talk) false claims that they (tartey = swim) have got across the world-ocean and found God. 2.

I love (oey) those who (tiaagi) have given up attachments to the world-play and (bairaagi = yearning) love/obey (prabh) the Almighty Master (meyrey = my) of all. Similarly (hau) I (na sakau) cannot (rah-i) live (bin-u) without (tis-u = that) the Almighty even for (ik-u) one (khin) moment, such has (hamaari) my (preet-i) love (laagi) developed for God. 1.

(Prabh-u) the Almighty (aavai) comes to (moh-i) my (chit-i) mind in (un kai) their (sang-i) company; (moh-i) my inner-self has been (jaagi = awakened) enlightened – by giving up other ideas – (prasaad-i = with grace) with guidance of (sant) the saints.

(Man) the mind (bhaey) is (nirmal) purified (sun-i) listening to their (updeys-u) counsel; and (raa’ngi) imbued with (rang) love of God (gaaey = sing) praises (gun) Divine virtues. 1.

It is (dey-i) by giving (ihu) this (man-u) mind, i.e. by giving up ego, that (sant) the saints (keeay) are made (meetaa) friends and followd; they (bhaey) are (kripal) kind to guide those (baddbhaagee-n) who have good fortune.

I (paaiaa) experience such (mahaa) great (sukh-u) peace since I (paagi) received (rayn-u) dust feet of the saints, that I (na saakau) cannot (baran-i) be describe, says fifth Nanak. 2. 1. 5.

But I (karau = make do, braabar-i = equal) try to immitate those who are (raatee-n) imbued (sang-i) with love of (pria) the Beloved; (ih) this (ddheetthaaee) shamless (ki = of) is caused by (haumai = ego) feeling of misplaced self-importance. 1.

The Almighty (nidhaa-u) treasure (gun) of virtues (vasiaa) abides (man-i) in the mind – one keeps away from vices and – and there (theeaa = happened) is no (dookh) suffering (bahurr-i) again, says fifth Nanak. 2. 4. 8.

(Meyrey) my (prabh) Master, please (keejai) show (kirpa) kindness that I have (dhan-u) the wealth of Naam as (adhaar-u) mainstay for (jeevan) life – being with You, says fifth Nanak. 2. 5. 9.

Malār mėhlā 5.  Ab apne parīṯam si▫o ban ā▫ī.  Rājā rām ramaṯ sukẖ pā▫i▫o baras megẖ sukẖ▫ḏā▫ī. ||1|| rahā▫o.

 

Composition of (mahla 5) the fifth Guru in Raga Malaar: (Ab) now, I (ban-i aaee) get along (sio) with, i.e. find it agreeable to live by Naam or virtues and commands of (apney = own) my (preetam) Bloved Master. (Ramat) remembering, i.e being conscious of Naam or virtues and commands of (raajaa = king, raam-u = God) the Almighty I –shun vices and – (paaiaaa) experience (sukh-u) peace, with (sukhdaaee) comfort-giving/pleasant (meygh = cloud) rain, (baras-u) falling i.e. the Almighty revealing within. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.

 

ਇਕੁ ਪਲੁ ਬਿਸਰਤ ਨਹੀ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਵੈ ਨਿਧਿ ਪਾਈ ॥ ਉਦੌਤੁ ਭਇਓ ਪੂਰਨ ਭਾਵੀ ਕੋ ਭੇਟੇ ਸੰਤ ਸਹਾਈ ॥੧॥

Ik pal bisraṯ nahī sukẖ sāgar nām navai niḏẖ pā▫ī. Uḏouṯ bẖa▫i▫o pūran bẖāvī ko bẖete sanṯ sahā▫ī. ||1||

 

When one (paaee) obtains awareness of (navai nidh-i = nine treaures) the valuable Naam, one does not (bisrat) forget the Almighty (saagar-u = ocean, sukh = comfort) the source of peace, even for (ik-u) one (pal) moment, i.e. peace is ever experienced.

(Udaot-u) dawn of (pooran) the all-pervasive (bhaavi = will) commands (bhaio) occurs, i.e. God revealed within, when one (bhettey) found and followed (sahaaee) helpful (sant) the saints. 1.

 

ਸੁਖ ਉਪਜੇ ਦੁਖ ਸਗਲ ਬਿਨਾਸੇ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ॥ ਤਰਿਓ ਸੰਸਾਰੁ ਕਠਿਨ ਭੈ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਚਰਨ ਧਿਆਈ ॥੨॥੬॥੧੦॥

(Sagal) all (dukh) pains/distress (binaasey = desroyed) end and (sukh) comforts/peace (upjey = occur) are experienced with (liv) attention (laaee) fixed on (paarbrahm) the Supreme Master’s commands.
