The Lord called His minstrel in, and asked, Why have you come here? O Merciful God, please grant me the gift of continual meditation on the Lord's Name. And so the Lord, the Great Giver, inspired Nanak to chant the Lord's Name, and blessed him with robes of honor. |
The Lord God has made servant Nanak perfect; he is not diminished by even the tiniest particle. |
The Lord has assigned one task to me; as it pleases Him, I perform it. |
The Lord has become merciful, and now I meditate on the Name of the Lord. Servant Nanak has obtained the sublime essence of the Lord. |
The Lord has come into the hands of the One, the Guru, who has blessed so many with good fortune. Attached to Him, a great many have been liberated. |
The Lord has heard my sad cries from within; He has called me, His minstrel, into His Presence. |
The Lord has implanted a longing for the Lord's Name within me. I have met the Lord God, my Best Friend, and I have found peace. |
The Lord has installed Himself within the Guru; so praise the Guru |
The Lord has no form, features or color. |
The Lord hears the anguish of the soul; He is the All-powerful and Infinite Primal Being. |
The Lord Himself acts; unto whom should we complain? How can anyone complain that the Lord has made a mistake? |
The Lord Himself beholds all; His Immanent Presence is pervading everywhere. |
The Lord Himself beholds, and He Himself blossoms forth. |
The Lord Himself chants, and the Lord Himself inspires others to chant. |
The Lord Himself dyes us in the color of His Love. |
