I am a sacrifice to my True Guru. He shall not abandon me; He shall surely carry me across. |
I am fulfilling all your desires. So you must fulfill this one desire of Mine. I bless that you have long life, good health, Ananda, Peace and Prosperity; and that you will dedicate your physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual strength and skills for the service of the country and of all mankind. |
I am not a learned Pandit, I am not clever or wise. I do not wander; I am not deluded by doubt. |
I am overpowering, and thou, (O plant), art completely overpowering. Having both grown full of power, let us overpower my rival! |
I am worthless, with such a shallow intellect; You are always Merciful to the meek. |
I am Your servant; You are my Lord and Master. Nanak: my honor and glory are Yours, God. |
I cannot describe Your Manifestations, O Treasure of Excellence, O Giver of peace. God is Inaccessible, Incomprehensible and Imperishable; He is known through the Perfect Guru. |
I clap thy teeth upon thy teeth, and also thy jaw upon thy jaw; I press thy tongue against thy tongue, and close up, O serpent, thy mouth. |
I dedicate this soul; I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to them. Bowing low, I fall at the Feet of the Lord. |
I dig up this plant, of herbs the most potent, by whose power rival women are overcome, and husbands are obtained. |
I enjoy intuitive peace, and I play in bliss; the cycle of reincarnation is ended for me, and I am merged with the Lord. |
I have become a worshipper of the One Name; the Guru has shown me this amazing wonder. |
I have conquered and cleaned thee out (?); I have also gained thy reserve. As the wolf plucks to pieces the sheep, thus do I pluck thy winnings. |
I have found the Perfect Guru; Maya shall no longer harass me. |
I have made that intuitive peace my food; the Lord Master has written this pre-ordained destiny upon my forehead. |
