42. ||1||  
Day and night, I chant Your Name. ||1||
42. ||1||Pause||  
I am worthless; I have no virtue at all. God is the Creator, the Cause of all causes. ||1||Pause||
42. ||2||  
I am foolish, stupid, ignorant and thoughtless; Your Name is my mind's only hope. ||2||
42. ||3||  
I have not practiced chanting, deep meditation, self-discipline or good actions; but within my mind, I have worshipped God's Name. ||3||
42. ||4||18||69||  
I know nothing, and my intellect is inadequate. Prays Nanak, O God, You are my only Support. ||4||18||69||
42. ||1||  
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl: These two words, Har, Har, make up my maalaa. Continually chanting and reciting this rosary, God has become merciful to me, His humble servant. ||1||
42. ||1||Pause||  
I offer my prayer to the True Guru. Shower Your Mercy upon me, and keep me safe in Your Sanctuary; please, give me the maalaa, the rosary of Har, Har. ||1||Pause||
42. ||2||  
One who enshrines this rosary of the Lord's Name within his heart, is freed of the pains of birth and death. ||2||
42. ||3||  
The humble being who contemplates the Lord within his heart, and chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har, with his mouth, never wavers, here or hereafter. ||3||
42. ||4||19||70||  
Says Nanak, one who is imbued with the Name, goes to the next world with the maalaa of the Lord's Name. ||4||19||70||
42. ||1||  
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl: All things belong to Him - let yourself belong to Him as well. No stain clings to such a humble being. ||1||
42. ||1||Pause||  
The Lord's servant is liberated forever. Whatever He does, is pleasing to His servant; the way of life of His slave is immaculately pure. ||1||Pause||
42. ||2||  
One who renounces everything, and enters the Lord's Sanctuary - how can Maya cling to him? ||2||
42. ||3||  
With the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, in his mind, he suffers no anxiety, even in dreams. ||3||
42. ||4||20||71||  
Says Nanak, I have found the Perfect Guru. My doubts and attachments have been totally obliterated. ||4||20||71||
42. ||1||  
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl: When my God is totally pleased with me, then, tell me, how can suffering or doubt draw near me? ||1||
42. ||1||Pause||  
Continually listening to Your Glory, I live. I am worthless - save me, O Lord! ||1||Pause||
42. ||2||  
My suffering has been ended, and my anxiety is forgotten. I have obtained my reward, chanting the Mantra of the True Guru. ||2||
42. ||3||  
He is True, and True is His glory. Remembering, remembering Him in meditation, keep Him clasped to your heart. ||3||
42. ||4||21||72||  
Says Nanak, what action is there left to do, by one whose mind is filled with the Lord's Name? ||4||21||72||
42. ||1||  
Aasaa, Fifth Mehl: Sexual desire, anger, and egotism lead to ruin. Meditating on the Lord, the Lord's humble servants are redeemed. ||1||
42. ||1||Pause||  
The mortals are asleep, intoxicated with the wine of Maya. The devotees remain awake, imbued with the Lord's meditation. ||1||Pause||
42. ||2||  
In emotional attachment and doubt, the mortals wander through countless incarnations. The devotees remain ever-stable, meditating on the Lord's Lotus Feet. ||2||
42. ||3||  
Bound to household and possessions, the mortals are lost in the deep, dark pit. The Saints are liberated, knowing the Lord to be near at hand. ||3||
42. ||4||22||73||  
Says Nanak, one who has taken to God's Sanctuary, obtains peace in this world, and salvation in the world hereafter. ||4||22||73||
