Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਗੁਨ ਲਾਲ ਗਾਵਉ ਗੁਰ ਦੇਖੇ ॥
gun laal gaava-o gur daykhay.
Gazing upon my Guru, I sing the Praises of my Beloved Lord.
ਪੰਚਾ ਤੇ ਏਕੁ ਛੂਟਾ ਜਉ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਪਗ ਰਉ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
panchaa tay ayk chhootaa ja-o saaDhsang pag ra-o. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I escape from the five thieves, and I find the One, when I join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Looking upon the Guru, I sing the praises of my Beloved.
When I join the Sangat, I get free of the five thieves, and I find the One.
You do not fight the five thieves alone; the Sangat loosens their grip.
The panch, the five inner thieves, are the classic list: lust, anger, greed, attachment, and pride. They loosen in the Sangat, while the heart is busy singing.
SaaDhsang is the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One.
