1When the unstruck sound current resounds, doubt and fear run away.

2God is all-pervading, giving shade to all.

3All belong to You; to the Gurmukhs, You are known. Singing Your Praises, they look beautiful in Your Court. ||10||

4He is the Primal Lord, immaculate and pure.

5I know of no other at all.

6The One Universal Creator Lord dwells within, and is pleasing to the mind of those who banishe egotism and pride. ||11||

7I drink in the Ambrosial Nectar, given by the True Guru.

8I do not know any other second or third.

9He is the One, Unique, Infinite and Endless Lord; He evaluates all beings and places some in His treasury. ||12||

10Spiritual wisdom and meditation on the True Lord are deep and profound.

11No one knows Your expanse.

12All that are, beg from You; You are attained only by Your Grace. ||13||

13You hold karma and Dharma in Your hands, O True Lord.

14O Independent Lord, Your treasures are inexhaustible.

15You are forever kind and compassionate, God. You unite in Your Union. ||14||

16You Yourself see, and cause Yourself to be seen.

17You Yourself establish, and You Yourself disestablish.

18The Creator Himself unites and separates; He Himself kills and rejuvenates. ||15||

19As much as there is, is contained within You.

20You gaze upon Your creation, sitting within Your royal palace.

21Nanak offers this true prayer; gazing upon the Blessed Vision of the Lord's Darshan, I have found peace. ||16||1||13||

22Maaroo, First Mehla:

23If I am pleasing to You, Lord, then I obtain the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan.

24In loving devotional worship, O True Lord, I sing Your Glorious Praises.

25By Your Will, O Creator Lord, You have become pleasing to me, and so sweet to my tongue. ||1||

26The devotees look beautiful in the Darbaar, the Court of God.

27Your slaves, Lord, are liberated.

28Eradicating self-conceit, they are attuned to Your Love; night and day, they meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||

29Shiva, Brahma, gods and goddesses,

30Indra, ascetics and silent sages serve You.

31Celibates, givers of charity and the many forest-dwellers have not found the Lord's limits. ||3||

32No one knows You, unless You let them know You.

33Whatever is done, is by Your Will.

34You created the 8.4 million species of beings; by Your Will, they draw their breath. ||4||

35Whatever is pleasing to Your Will, undoubtedly comes to pass.

36The self-willed manmukh shows off, and comes to grief.

37Forgetting the Name, he finds no place of rest; coming and going in reincarnation, he suffers in pain. ||5||

38Pure is the body, and immaculate is the swan-soul;

39within it is the immaculate essence of the Naam.

40Such a being drinks in all his pains like Ambrosial Nectar; he never suffers sorrow again. ||6||

41For his excessive indulgences, he receives only pain;

42from his enjoyments, he contracts diseases, and in the end, he wastes away.

43His pleasure can never erase his pain; without accepting the Lord's Will, he wanders lost and confused. ||7||

44Without spiritual wisdom, they all just wander around.

45The True Lord is pervading and permeating everywhere, lovingly engaged.

46The Fearless Lord is known through the Shabad, the Word of the True Guru; one's light merges into the Light. ||8||

47He is the eternal, unchanging, immeasurable Lord.

48In an instant, He destroys, ang then reconstructs.

49He has no form or shape, no limit or value. Pierced by the Shabad, one is satisfied. ||9||
