1By the Hukam of Your Command, You create, and by Your Command, You destroy. By Your Command, You unite in Union. ||5||

2One who realizes Your Command, praises Your Command.

3You are Inaccessible, Unfathomable and Self-Sufficient.

4As is the understanding You give, so do I become. You Yourself reveal the Shabad. ||6||

5Night and day, the days of our lives wear away.

6Night and day both bear witness to this loss.

7The blind, foolish, self-willed manmukh is not aware of this; death is hovering over his head. ||7||

8The mind and body are cooled and soothed, holding tight to the Guru's Feet.

9Doubt is eliminated from within, and fear runs away.

10One is in bliss forever, singing the Glorious Praises of the True Lord, and speaking the True Word of His Bani. ||8||

11One who knows You as the Architect of Karma,

12has the good fortune of perfect destiny, and recognizes the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

13The Lord, the Truest of the True, is his social class and honor. Conquering his ego, he is united with the Lord. ||9||

14The stubborn and insensitive mind is attached to the love of duality.

15Deluded by doubt, the unfortunate wander around in confusion.

16But if they are blessed by God's Grace, they serve the True Guru, and easily obtain peace. ||10||

17He Himself created the 8.4 million species of beings.

18Only in this human life, is devotional worship to the Guru implanted within.

19Without devotion, one lives in manure; he falls into manure again and again. ||11||

20If one is blessed with His Grace, devotional worship to the Guru is implanted within.

21Without God's Grace, how can anyone find Him?

22The Creator Himself acts, and inspires all to act; as He wills, he leads us on. ||12||

23The Simritees and the Shaastras do not know His limits.

24The blind fool does not recognize the essence of reality.

25The Creator Himself acts, and inspires all to act; He Himself deludes with doubt. ||13||

26He Himself causes everything to be done.

27He Himself joins each and every person to his tasks.

28He Himself establishes and disestablishes, and watches over all; He reveals Himself to the Gurmukh. ||14||

29The True Lord and Master is profoundly deep and unfathomable.

30Praising Him forever, the mind is comforted and consoled.

31He is inaccessible and unfathomable; His value cannot be estimated. He dwells in the mind of the Gurmukh. ||15||

32He Himself is detached; all others are entangled in their affairs.

33By Guru's Grace, one comes to understand Him.

34O Nanak, the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to dwell deep within the heart; through the Guru's Teachings, one is united in His Union. ||16||3||17||

35Maaroo, Third Mehla:

36For thirty-six ages, utter darkness prevailed.

37Only You Yourself know this, O Creator Lord.

38What can anyone else say? What can anyone explain? Only You Yourself can estimate Your worth. ||1||

39The One Universal Creator created the entire Universe.

40All the plays and dramas are to Your glory and greatness.

41The True Lord Himself makes all distinctions; He Himself breaks and builds. ||2||

42The Juggler has staged His juggling show.

43Through the Perfect Guru, one comes to behold it.

44One who remains forever detached in the Word of the Guru's Shabad - his consciousness is attuned to the True Lord. ||3||

45The musical instruments of the body vibrate and resound.

46The Player Himself plays them.

47The breath flows equally through the hearts of each and every being. Receiving the breath, all the instruments sing. ||4||
