ੴ

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:

She controls the three qualities and the four directions of the world.

She destroys sacrificial feasts, cleansing baths, penances and sacred places of pilgrimage; what is this poor person to do? ||1||

I grasped God's Support and Protection, and then I was emancipated.

By the Grace of the Holy Saints, I sang the Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, Har, and my sins and afflictions were taken away. ||1||Pause||

She is not heard - she does not speak with a mouth; she is not seen enticing mortals.

She administers her intoxicating drug, and so confuses them; thus she seems sweet to everyone's mind. ||2||

In each and every home, she has implanted the sense of duality in mother, father, children, friends and siblings.

Some have more, and some have less; they fight and fight, to the death. ||3||

I am a sacrifice to my True Guru, who has shown me this wondrous play.

The world is being consumed by this hidden fire, but Maya does not cling to the Lord's devotees. ||4||

By the Grace of the Saints, I have obtained supreme bliss, and all my bonds have been broken.

Nanak has obtained the wealth of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; having earned his profits, he has now returned home. ||5||11||
