2One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

3You are everywhere, wherever I go, O True Creator Lord.

4You are the Giver of all, the Architect of Destiny, the Dispeller of distress.

5The Lord Master is the Dispeller of distress; all that happens is by His doing.

6Millions upon millions of sins, He destroys in an instant.

7He calls a swan a swan, and a crane a crane; He contemplates each and every heart.

8You are everywhere, wherever I go, O True Creator Lord. ||1||

9Those who meditate on Him single-mindedly obtain peace; how rare are they in this world.

10The Messenger of Death does not draw near those who live the Guru's Teachings; they never return defeated.

11Those who appreciate the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har, never suffer defeat; the Messenger of Death does not even approach them.

12Birth and death are ended for those who are attached to the feet of the Lord.

13Through the Guru's Teachings, they obtain the sublime essence of the Lord, and the fruit of the Lord; they enshrine the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in their hearts.

14Those who meditate on Him single-mindedly obtain peace; how rare are they in this world. ||2||

15He who created the world and assigned all to their tasks - unto Him I am a sacrifice.

16So serve Him, and gather profit, and you shall obtain honor in the Court of the Lord.

17That humble being, who recognizes the One Lord alone, obtains honor in the Court of the Lord.

18One who meditates on the Lord, through the Guru's Teachings, obtains the nine treasures; he chants and repeats continually the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

19Day and night, take the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the most sublime Primal Being.

20The One who created the world and assigned all to their tasks - I am a sacrifice to Him. ||3||

21Those who chant the Naam look beautiful; they obtain the fruit of peace. Those who believe in the Name win the game of life.

22Their blessings are not exhausted, if it pleases the Lord, even though numerous ages may pass.

23Even though numerous ages may pass, O Lord Master, their blessings are not exhausted.

24They do not age, they do not die and fall into hell, if they meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

25Those who chant the Lord's Name, Har, Har, do not wither, O Nanak; they are not afflicted by pain.

26Those who chant the Naam look beautiful; they obtain the fruit of peace. Those who believe in the Name win the game of life. ||4||1||4||

27One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

28Aasaa, First Mehla, Chhant, Third House:

29Listen, O black deer: why are you so attached to the orchard of passion?

30The fruit of sin is sweet for only a few days, and then it grows hot and bitter.

31That fruit which intoxicated you has now become bitter and painful, without the Naam.
