Forever fruitful is the Blessed Vision of His Darshan; He is Infinite and Incomparable. He is Awesome and All-powerful; He is forever the Great Giver. |
Forgetting God, one endures utter agony |
Forgetting lord, I roll in the dust. |
Forgetting the Beloved, even for a moment, the mind is afflicted with terrible diseases. How can honor be attained in His Court, if the Lord does not dwell in the mind? |
Forgetting the Primal Lord, O Nanak, people are born and die, over and over again. Mistaking it for musk, they have fallen into the stinking pit of filth. |
Forgetting your Dear Lord the stone of corruption is tied around your neck, and the load of slander is on your head |
Forgetting your Dear Lord, you enjoy corrupt pleasures, and so you shall have to embrace red-hot pillars |
From birth to death, everything is for You. You bestow greatness upon those whom You have forgiven. |
From hand to hand, you are passed around, and your mother says, This is my son. O, my thoughtless and foolish mind, think, In the end, nothing shall be yours. |
From oneness, He has brought forth the countless multitudes. O Nanak, they shall merge into the One once again. |
From sinful pleasures come sorrow, separation, birth and death. The fools try to account for their misdeeds, and argue uselessly. |
From the Guru, I have obtained the Lord; I have made Him my Guru. || 2 || The Sovereign Lord is the Giver of virtue. I am worthless and without virtue. |
From the Lord's Name, I obtain salvation and understanding. |
From the mind we originate, and into the mind we are absorbed. |
From the True Guru, I obtained spiritual wisdom; I contemplate the Lord's essence. |
