1The Universe is intoxicated with the wine of Maya, but it has been saved; the All-powerful Guru has blessed it with the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam.

2And, the Praiseworthy Guru is blessed with eternal peace, wealth and prosperity; the supernatural spiritual powers of the Siddhis never leave him.

3His Gifts are vast and great; His awesome Power is supreme. Your humble servant and slave speaks this truth.

4One, upon whose head the Guru has placed His Hand - with whom should he be concerned? ||7||49||

5He is totally pervading and permeating the three realms;

6in all the world, He has not created another like Himself.

7He Himself created Himself.

8The angels, human beings and demons have not found His limits.

9The angels, demons and human beings have not found His limits; the heavenly heralds and celestial singers wander around, searching for Him.

10The Eternal, Imperishable, Unmoving and Unchanging, Unborn, Self-Existent, Primal Being of the Soul, the Infinity of the Infinite,

11the Eternal All-powerful Cause of causes - all beings meditate on Him in their minds.

12O Great and Supreme Guru Raam Daas, Your Victory resounds across the universe. You have attained the supreme status of the Lord. ||1||

13Nanak, the True Guru, worships God single-mindedly; He surrenders His body, mind and wealth to the Lord of the Universe.

14The Infinite Lord enshrined His Own Image in Guru Angad. In His heart, He delights in the spiritual wisdom of the Unfathomable Lord.

15Guru Amar Daas brought the Creator Lord under His control. Waaho! Waaho! Meditate on Him!

16O Great and Supreme Guru Raam Daas, Your Victory resounds across the universe. You have attained the supreme status of the Lord. ||2||

17Naarad, Dhroo, Prahlaad and Sudaamaa are accounted among the Lord's devotees of the past.

18Ambreek, Jai Dayv, Trilochan, Naam Dayv and Kabeer are also remembered.

19They were incarnated in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga; their praises have spread over all the world.

20O Great and Supreme Guru Raam Daas, Your Victory resounds across the universe. You have attained the supreme status of the Lord. ||3||

21Those who meditate in remembrance on You within their minds - their sexual desire and anger are taken away.

22Those who remember You in meditation with their words, are rid of their poverty and pain in an instant.

23Those who obtain the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan, by the karma of their good deeds, touch the Philosopher's Stone, and like BALL the poet, sing Your Praises.

24O Great and Supreme Guru Raam Daas, Your Victory resounds across the universe. You have attained the supreme status of the Lord. ||4||

25Those who meditate in remembrance on the True Guru - the darkness of their eyes is removed in an instant.

26Those who meditate in remembrance on the True Guru within their hearts, are blessed with the Lord's Name, day by day.

27Those who meditate in remembrance on the True Guru within their souls - the fire of desire is extinguished for them.

28Those who meditate in remembrance on the True Guru, are blessed with wealth and prosperity, supernatural spiritual powers and the nine treasures.

29So speaks BALL the poet: Blessed is Guru Raam Daas; joining the Sangat, the Congregation, call Him blessed and great.

30Meditate on the True Guru, O men, through Whom the Lord is obtained. ||5||54||

31Living the Word of the Shabad, He attained the supreme status; while performing selfless service, He did not leave the side of Guru Amar Daas.

32From that service, the light from the jewel of spiritual wisdom shines forth, radiant and bright; it has destroyed pain, poverty and darkness.
