Malaar, Fifth Mehl:

ਮਨੁ ਘਨੈ ਭ੍ਰਮੈ ਬਨੈ ॥

man ghanai bhramai banai |

My mind wanders through the dense forest.

ਉਮਕਿ ਤਰਸਿ ਚਾਲੈ ॥

aumak taras chaalai |

It walks with eagerness and love,

ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮਿਲਬੇ ਕੀ ਚਾਹ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

prabh milabe kee chaah |1| rahaau |

hoping to meet God. ||1||Pause||

ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਨ ਮਾਈ ਮੋਹਿ ਆਈ ਕਹੰਉ ਬੇਦਨ ਕਾਹਿ ॥੧॥

trai gun maaee mohi aaee kahnau bedan kaeh |1|

Maya with her three gunas - the three dispositions - has come to entice me; whom can I tell of my pain? ||1||

ਆਨ ਉਪਾਵ ਸਗਰ ਕੀਏ ਨਹਿ ਦੂਖ ਸਾਕਹਿ ਲਾਹਿ ॥

aan upaav sagar kee neh dookh saakeh laeh |

I tried everything else, but nothing could rid me of my sorrow.

ਭਜੁ ਸਰਨਿ ਸਾਧੂ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਮਿਲੁ ਗੁਨ ਗੋਬਿੰਦਹਿ ਗਾਹਿ ॥੨॥੨॥੨੪॥

bhaj saran saadhoo naanakaa mil gun gobindeh gaeh |2|2|24|

So hurry to the Sanctuary of the Holy, O Nanak; joining them, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe. ||2||2||24||
