1God is the Creator of the body-vessel.

2In the Society of the Saints, the dye is produced.

3Through the Word of the Lord's Bani, one's reputation becomes immaculate, and the mind is colored by the dye of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||15||

4The sixteen powers, absolute perfection and fruitful rewards are obtained,

5when the Lord and Master of infinite power is revealed.

6The Lord's Name is Nanak's bliss, play and peace; he drinks in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Lord. ||16||2||9||

7Maaroo, Solhas, Fifth Mehla:

8One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

9You are my Lord and Master; You have made me Your servant.

10My soul and body are all gifts from You.

11You are the Creator, the Cause of causes; nothing belongs to me. ||1||

12When You sent me, I came into the world.

13Whatever is pleasing to Your Will, I do.

14Without You, nothing is done, so I am not anxious at all. ||2||

15In the world hereafter, the Hukam of Your Command is heard.

16In this world, I chant Your Praises, Lord.

17You Yourself write the account, and You Yourself erase it; no one can argue with You. ||3||

18You are our father; we are all Your children.

19We play as You cause us to play.

20The wilderness and the path are all made by You. No one can take the wrong path. ||4||

21Some remain seated within their homes.

22Some wander across the country and through foreign lands.

23Some are grass-cutters, and some are kings. Who among these can be called false? ||5||

24Who is liberated, and who will land in hell?

25Who is worldly, and who is a devotee?

26Who is wise, and who is shallow? Who is aware, and who is ignorant? ||6||

27By the Hukam of the Lord's Command, one is liberated, and by His Hukam, one falls into hell.

28By His Hukam, one is worldly, and by His Hukam, one is a devotee.

29By His Hukam, one is shallow, and by His Hukam, one is wise. There is no other side except His. ||7||

30You made the ocean vast and huge.

31You made some into foolish self-willed manmukhs, and dragged them into hell.

32Some are carried across, in the ship of Truth of the True Guru. ||8||

33You issue Your Command for this amazing thing, death.

34You create all beings and creatures, and absorb them back into Yourself.

35You gaze in delight upon the one arena of the world, and enjoy all the pleasures. ||9||

36Great is the Lord and Master, and Great is His Name.

37He is the Great Giver; Great is His place.

38He is inaccessible and unfathomable, infinite and unweighable. He cannot be measureed. ||10||

39No one else knows His value.

40Only You Yourself, O Immaculate Lord, are equal to Yourself.

41You Yourself are the spiritual teacher, You Yourself are the One who meditates. You Yourself are the great and immense Being of Truth. ||11||

42For so many days, You remained invisible.

43For so many days, You were absorbed in silent absorption.

44For so many days, there was only pitch darkness, and then the Creator revealed Himself. ||12||

45You Yourself are called the God of Supreme Power.
