1Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he chants the Name of the Lord.

2Night and day, he remains imbued with the Naam, day and night; he is rid of emotional attachment to Maya. ||8||

3Serving the Guru, all things are obtained;

4egotism, possessiveness and self-conceit are taken away.

5The Lord, the Giver of peace Himself grants His Grace; He exalts and adorns with the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||9||

6The Guru's Shabad is the Ambrosial Bani.

7Night and day, chant the Name of the Lord.

8That heart becomes immaculate, which is filled with the True Lord, Har, Har. ||10||

9His servants serve, and praise His Shabad.

10Imbued forever with the color of His Love, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

11He Himself forgives, and unites them with the Shabad; the fragrance of sandalwood permeates their minds. ||11||

12Through the Shabad, they speak the Unspoken, and praise the Lord.

13My True Lord God is self-sufficient.

14The Giver of virtue Himself unites them with the Shabad; they enjoy the sublime essence of the Shabad. ||12||

15The confused, self-willed manmukhs find no place of rest.

16They do those deeds which they are pre-destined to do.

17Imbued with poison, they search out poison, and suffer the pains of death and rebirth. ||13||

18He Himself praises Himself.

19Your Glorious Virtues are within You alone, God.

20You Yourself are True, and True is the Word of Your Bani. You Yourself are invisible and unknowable. ||14||

21Without the Guru, the Giver, no one finds the Lord,

22though one may make hundreds of thousands and millions of attempts.

23By Guru's Grace, He dwells deep within the heart; through the Shabad, praise the True Lord. ||15||

24They alone meet Him, whom the Lord unites with Himself.

25They are adorned and exalted with the True Word of His Bani, and the Shabad.

26Servant Nanak continually sings the Glorious Praises of the True Lord; singing His Glories, he is immersed in the Glorious Lord of Virtue. ||16||4||13||

33The Naam, the embodiment of the nine treasures, abides within their hearts; they renounce the profit of Maya. ||2||

34Both the king and his subjects are involved in evil-mindedness and duality.

35Without serving the True Guru, they do not become one with the Lord.

36Those who meditate on the One Lord find eternal peace. Their power is eternal and unfailing. ||3||

46True is His Will, beauteous and pleasing through the Word of the Shabad.

47The Panch Shabad, the five primal sounds, vibrate and resonate.
