1With intuitive peace and poise, I contemplate the Glorious Virtues of Guru Arjun.

2He was revealed in the House of Guru Raam Daas,

3and all hopes and desires were fulfilled.

4From birth, He realized God through the Guru's Teachings.

5With palms pressed together, KALL the poet speaks His praises.

6The Lord brought Him into the world, to practice the Yoga of devotional worship.

7The Word of the Guru's Shabad has been revealed, and the Lord dwells on His tongue.

8Attached to Guru Nanak, Guru Angad and Guru Amar Daas, He attained the supreme status.

9In the House of Guru Raam Daas, the devotee of the Lord, Guru Arjun was born. ||1||

10By great good fortune, the mind is uplifted and exalted, and the Word of the Shabad dwells in the heart.

11The jewel of the mind is contented; the Guru has implanted the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within.

12The Inaccessible and Unfathomable, Supreme Lord God is revealed through the True Guru.

13In the House of Guru Raam Daas, Guru Arjun has appeared as the Embodiment of the Fearless Lord. ||2||

14The benign rule of Raja Janak has been established, and the Golden Age of Sat Yuga has begun.

15Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the mind is pleased and appeased; the unsatisfied mind is satisfied.

16Guru Nanak laid the foundation of Truth; He is blended with the True Guru.

17In the House of Guru Raam Daas, Guru Arjun has appeared as the Embodiment of the Infinite Lord. ||3||

18The Sovereign Lord King has staged this wondrous play; contentment was gathered together, and pure understanding was infused in the True Guru.

19KALL the poet utters the Praises of the Unborn, Self-existent Lord.

20Guru Nanak blessed Guru Angad, and Guru Angad blessed Guru Amar Daas with the treasure.

21Guru Raam Daas blessed Guru Arjun, who touched the Philosopher's Stone, and was certified. ||4||

22O Guru Arjun, You are Eternal, Invaluable, Unborn, Self-existent,

23the Destroyer of fear, the Dispeller of pain, Infinite and Fearless.

24You have grasped the Ungraspable, and burnt away doubt and skepticism. You bestow cooling and soothing peace.

25The Self-existent, Perfect Primal Lord God Creator has taken birth.

26First, Guru Nanak, then Guru Angad and Guru Amar Daas, the True Guru, have been absorbed into the Word of the Shabad.

27Blessed, blessed is Guru Raam Daas, the Philosopher's Stone, who transformed Guru Arjun unto Himself. ||5||

28His victory is proclaimed all over the world; His Home is blessed with good fortune; He remains united with the Lord.

29By great good fortune, He has found the Perfect Guru; He remains lovingly attuned to Him, and endures the load of the earth.

30He is the Destroyer of fear, the Eradicator of the pains of others. Kall Sahaar the poet utters Your Praise, O Guru.

31In the Sodhi family, is born Arjun, the son of Guru Raam Daas, the holder of the banner of Dharma and the devotee of God. ||6||

32The Support of the Dharma, immersed in the deep and profound Teachings of the Guru, the Remover of the pains of others.

33The Shabad is excellent and sublime, kind and generous like the Lord, the Destroyer of egotism.

34The Great Giver, the spiritual wisdom of the True Guru, His mind does not grow weary of its yearning for the Lord.

35The Embodiment of Truth, the Mantra of the Lord's Name, the nine treasures are never exhausted.

36O Son of Guru Raam Daas, You are contained amidst all; the canopy of intuitive wisdom is spread above You.

37So speaks KALL the poet: O Guru Arjun, You know the sublime essence of Raja Yoga, the Yoga of meditation and success. ||7||
