SGGS pp 826-828, Bilaaval M; 5, Shabads 113-122.
Note: The fifth Guru left Amritsar because of antagonism of his elder brother and went to a place named Vaddaali. With Divine grace things settled down and he came back along-with the Sikhs. This Shabad seems to be a thanksgiving to the Almighty.

ਬਿਲਾਵਲੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ ਰਾਖੁ ਸਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਅਪਨੈ ਸਾਥ ॥ ਤੂ ਹਮਰੋ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮੁ ਮਨਮੋਹਨੁ ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਜੀਵਨੁ ਸਗਲ ਅਕਾਥ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Bilāval mėhlā 5. Rākẖ saḏā parabẖ apnai sāth. Ŧū hamro parīṯam manmohan ṯujẖ bin jīvan sagal akāth. ||1|| rahā▫o.
Composition of the fifth Guru in Raga Bilaaval: O (prabh) Almighty, please (raakh-u) keep us (sadaa) ever (saath) with (apnai = own) You, i.e. enable us to conduct ourselves with You in mind.
(Too) You are (hamro) our (manmohan-u) fascinating (preetam) Beloved Master; (sagal) the whole (jeevan-u) life is (akaath) is useless (bin-u) without (tujh) You, i.e. one keeps succumbing to temptations by forgetting Your virtues and commands. 1.
(Rahaau) pause and reflect on this.
ਰੰਕ ਤੇ ਰਾਉ ਕਰਤ ਖਿਨ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮੇਰੋ ਅਨਾਥ ਕੋ ਨਾਥ ॥ ਜਲਤ ਅਗਨਿ ਮਹਿ ਜਨ ਆਪਿ ਉਧਾਰੇ ਕਰਿ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਦੇ ਰਾਖੇ ਹਾਥ ॥੧॥
Rank ṯe rā▫o karaṯ kẖin bẖīṯar parabẖ mero anāth ko nāth. Jalaṯ agan mėh jan āp uḏẖāre kar apune ḏe rākẖe hāth. ||1||
(Prabh-u) the Master (meyro = my) of all (naath = master) looks after (anaath = master-less) the hapless, and (karat) makes (raau) a king (tey) from (rank) a pauper (bheetar-i) in (khin) a moment, i.e. awareness of Divine virtues can lift one fallen to vices to the exalted state of receiving honor in Divine court.
Those (jalat) burning (mah) in (agan-i) fire, i.e. caught in vices; when they become (jan) servants, i.e. obey, Divine commands, (aap-i = self) the Almighty (kar-i = makes, apuney = own) motivates and (dey = gives, haath = hand) guides – out of vices. 1.
ਸੀਤਲ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਓ ਮਨ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਸ੍ਰਮ ਸਗਲੇ ਲਾਥ ॥ ਨਿਧਿ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਸੇਵਾ ਅਵਰ ਸਿਆਨਪ ਸਗਲ ਅਕਾਥ ॥੨॥੬॥੧੨੨॥
Sīṯal sukẖ pā▫i▫o man ṯaripṯai har simraṯ saram sagle lāth. Niḏẖ niḏẖān Nānak har sevā avar si▫ānap sagal akāth. ||2||6||122||
The seeker then (paaio) obtains (seetal = coolness) tranquility and (sukh-u) peace; (man) the mind (triptey) is satiated; (sagley) all (sram = toil) running after desires (laath = removed) ends with (simrat) keeping the Almighty in mind.
The (nidh-i) treasure of (nidhaan) treasures is received, i.e. all wishes are fulfilled by (seyva = service) by obeying Divine commands; (avar) other (siaanap = wisdom) methods are (akaath) useless, says fifth Nanak. 2. 6. 122.
