1Chant Guru, Guru, Guru; through the Guru, the Lord is obtained.

2The Guru is an Ocean, deep and profound, infinite and unfathomable. Lovingly attuned to the Lord's Name, you shall be blessed with jewels, diamonds and emeralds.

3And, the Guru makes us fragrant and fruitful, and His Touch transforms us into gold. The filth of evil-mindedness is washed away, meditating on the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

4The Stream of Ambrosial Nectar flows constantly from His Door. The Saints and Sikhs bathe in the immaculate pool of the Guru's spiritual wisdom.

5Enshrine the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within your heart, and dwell in Nirvaanaa. Chant Guru, Guru, Guru; through the Guru, the Lord is obtained. ||3||15||

6Chant Guru, Guru, Guru, Guru, Guru, O my mind.

7Serving Him, Shiva and the Siddhas, the angels and demons and servants of the gods, and the thrity-three million gods cross over, listening to the Word of the Guru's Teachings.

8And, the Saints and loving devotees are carried across, chanting Guru, Guru. Prahlaad and the silent sages met the Guru, and were carried across.

9Naarad and Sanak and those men of God who became Gurmukh were carried across; attached to the One Name, they abandoned other tastes and pleasures, and were carried across.

10This is the prayer of the Lord's humble slave: the Gurmukh obtains the Naam, the Name of the Lord, chanting Guru, Guru, Guru, Guru, Guru, O my mind. ||4||16||29||

11The Great, Supreme Guru showered His Mercy upon all;

12in the Golden Age of Sat Yuga, He blessed Dhroo.

13He saved the devotee Prahlaad,

14placing the Lotus of His Hand upon his forehead.

15The Unseen Form of the Lord cannot be seen.

16The Siddhas and seekers all seek His Sanctuary.

17True are the Words of the Guru's teachings. Enshrine them in your soul.

18Emancipate your body, and redeem this human incarnation.

19The Guru is the Boat, and the Guru is the Boatman. Without the Guru, no one can cross over.

20By Guru's Grace, God is obtained. Without the Guru, no one is liberated.

21Guru Nanak dwells near the Creator Lord.

22He established Lehnaa as Guru, and enshrined His Light in the world.

23Lehnaa established the path of righteousness and Dharma,

24which He passed on to Guru Amar Daas, of the Bhalla dynasty.

25Then, He firmly established the Great Raam Daas of the Sodhi dynasty.

26He was blessed with the inexhaustible treasure of the Lord's Name.

27He was blessed with the treasure of the Lord's Name; throughout the four ages, it is inexhaustible. Serving the Guru, He received His reward.

28Those who bow at His Feet and seek His Sanctuary, are blessed with peace; those Gurmukhs are blessed with supreme bliss.

29The Guru's Body is the Embodiment of the Supreme Lord God, our Lord and Master, the Form of the Primal Being, who nourishes and cherishes all.

30So serve the Guru, the True Guru; His ways and means are inscrutable. The Great Guru Raam Daas is the Boat to carry us across. ||1||

31The Holy people chant the Ambrosial Words of His Bani with delight in their minds.

32The Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan is fruitful and rewarding in this world; it brings lasting bliss and joy.

33The Guru's Darshan is fruitful and rewarding in this world, like the Ganges. Meeting Him, the supreme sacred status is obtained.

34Even sinful people conquer the realm of Death, if they become the Lord's humble servants, and are imbued with the Guru's spiritual wisdom.

35He is certified, like the handsome Ram Chander in the house of Dasrath of the Raghwa dynasty. Even the silent sages seek His Sanctuary.
