1Sanak, Sanandan and Naarad the sage serve You; night and day, they continue to chant Your Name, O Lord of the jungle.

2Slave Prahlaad sought Your Sanctuary, and You saved his honor. ||2||

3The One unseen immaculate Lord is pervading everywhere, as is the Light of the Lord.

4All are beggars, You alone are the Great Giver. Reaching out our hands, we beg from You. ||3||

5The speech of the humble devotees is sublime; they sing continually the wondrous, Unspoken Speech of the Lord.

6Their lives become fruitful; they save themselves, and all their generations. ||4||

7The self-willed manmukhs are engrossed in duality and evil-mindedness; within them is the darkness of attachment.

8They do not love the sermon of the humble Saints, and they are drowned along with their families. ||5||

9By slandering, the slanderer washes the filth off others; he is an eater of filth, and a worshipper of Maya.

10He indulges in the slander of the humble Saints; he is neither on this shore, nor the shore beyond. ||6||

11All this worldly drama is set in motion by the Creator Lord; He has infused His almighty strength into all.

12The thread of the One Lord runs through the world; when He pulls out this thread, the One Creator alone remains. ||7||

13With their tongues, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and savor Them. They place the sublime essence of the Lord upon their tongues, and savor it.

14O Nanak, other than the Lord, I ask for nothing else; I am in love with the Love of the Lord's sublime essence. ||8||1||7||
