Soohee, Fifth Mehla:
The Lord Himself has stood up to resolve the affairs of the Saints; He has come to complete their tasks.
The land is beautiful, and the pool is beautiful; within it is contained the Ambrosial Water.
The Ambrosial Water is filling it, and my job is perfectly complete; all my desires are fulfilled.
Congratulations are pouring in from all over the world; all my sorrows are eliminated.
The Vedas and the Puraanas sing the Praises of the Perfect, Unchanging, Imperishable Primal Lord.
The Transcendent Lord has kept His promise, and confirmed His nature; Nanak meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||
The Creator has given me the nine treasures, wealth and spiritual powers, and I do not lack anything.=
Eating, spending and enjoying, I have found peace; the gifts of the Creator Lord continually increase.|
His gifts increase and shall never be exhausted; I have found the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.
Millions of obstacles have all been removed, and pain does not even approach me.
Tranquility, peace, poise and bliss in abundance prevail, and all my hunger is satisfied.
Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of his Lord and Master, whose Glorious Greatness is wonderful and amazing. ||2||
It was His job, and He has done it; what can the mere mortal being do?
The devotees are adorned, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; they proclaim His eternal victory.
Singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, bliss wells up, and we are friends with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.
He who made the effort to construct this sacred pool – how can his praises be recounted?
The merits of the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage, charity, good deeds and immaculate lifestyle, are found in this sacred pool.
It is the natural way of the Lord and Master to purify sinners; Nanak takes the Support of the Word of the Shabad. ||3||
The treasure of virtue is my God, the Creator Lord; what Praises of Yours should I sing, O Lord?
The prayer of the Saints is, “”O Lord and Master, please bless us with the supreme, sublime essence of Your Name.””
Please, grant us Your Name, grant us this blessing, and do not forget us, even for an instant.
Chant the Glorious Praises of the World-Lord, O my tongue; sing them forever, night and day.
One who enshrines love for the Naam, the Name of the Lord, his mind and body are drenched with Ambrosial Nectar.
Prays Nanak, my desires have been fulfilled; gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord, I live. ||4||7||10||
