Raamkalee, Fifth Mehl:
Your home, power and wealth will be of no use to you.
Your corrupt worldly entanglements will be of no use to you.
Know that all your dear friends are fake.
Only the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, will go along with you. ||1||
Sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord's Name, O friend; remembering the Lord in meditation, your honor shall be saved.
Remembering the Lord in meditation, the Messenger of Death will not touch you. ||1||Pause||
Without the Lord, all pursuits are useless.
Gold, silver and wealth are just dust.
Chanting the Word of the Guru's Shabad, your mind shall be at peace.
Here and hereafter, your face shall be radiant and bright. ||2||
Even the greatest of the great worked and worked until they were exhausted.
None of them ever accomplished the tasks of Maya.
Any humble being who chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har,
will have all his hopes fulfilled. ||3||
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the anchor and support of the Lord's devotees.
The Saints are victorious in this priceless human life.
Whatever the Lord's Saint does, is approved and accepted.
Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to him. ||4||11||22||"
