O Nanak, the Lord Himself is the Appraiser, who distinguishes the counterfeit from the genuine. |
O Nanak, the One Lord is the Saint of Saints. Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, the soul-bride is bountiful and beautiful. |
O Nanak, the One Name is pervading deep within my mind; by Guru's Grace, I receive it. In all colors and forms, You are pervading. People die over and over again; they are re-born, and make their rounds on the wheel of reincarnation. |
O Nanak, the one who is blind shows others the way, and misleads all his companions. But, going to the world hereafter, he shall be beaten and kicked in the face; then, it will be obvious, what sort of guide he was! |
O Nanak, the shaven-headed ones are devils. They are not pleased to hear these words. When it rains, there is happiness. Water is the key to all life. When it rains, the corn grows, and the sugar cane, and the cotton, which provides clothing for all. |
O Nanak, the True Guru is always kind and compassionate, unto those whom the Lord Himself has blessed with His Mercy. |
O Nanak, the True One who takes away the eyes of spiritual wisdom - He alone can restore them. |
O Nanak, they are forever the happy soul-brides, whose light merges into His Light. |
O Nanak, they merge imperceptibly into the Lord, who has bestowed His Favor upon them. |
O Nanak, they swim across with the True Name of the Lord, the King above the heads of kings. |
O Nanak, this is the nature of a fool - everything he speaks is useless and wasted. |
O Nanak, those who are united with Him shall not be separated again. They merge imperceptibly into God. |
O Nanak, those who do not walk in the ways of sin, shall be exalted in the world hereafter. |
O Nanak, those who lack the Lord's Glance of Grace cherish neither charity nor the Lord's Name. |
O Nanak, through the Guru's Teachings, you shall be saved, contemplating the True Name. |
