1The jewel is concealed, but it is not concealed, even though one may try to conceal it. ||4||

2Everything is Yours, O Inner-knower, Searcher of hearts; You are the Lord God of all.

3He alone receives the gift, unto whom You give it; O servant Nanak, there is no one else. ||5||9||

4Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla, First House, Thi-Thukay:

5One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

6Who should I ask? Who should I worship? All were created by Him.

7Whoever appears to be the greatest of the great, shall ultimately be mixed with the dust.

8The Fearless, Formless Lord, the Destroyer of Fear bestows all comforts, and the nine treasures. ||1||

9O Dear Lord, Your gifts alone satisfy me.

10Why should I praise the poor helpless man? Why should I feel subservient to him? ||Pause||

11All things come to one who meditates on the Lord; the Lord satisfies his hunger.

12The Lord, the Giver of peace, bestows such wealth, that it can never be exhausted.

13I am in ecstasy, absorbed in celestial peace; the True Guru has united me in His Union. ||2||

14O mind, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord; worship the Naam, night and day, and recite the Naam.

15Listen to the Teachings of the Holy Saints, and all fear of death will be dispelled.

16Those blessed by God's Grace are attached to the Word of the Guru's Bani. ||3||

17Who can estimate Your worth, God? You are kind and compassionate to all beings.

18Everything which You do, prevails; I am just a poor child - what can I do?

19Protect and preserve Your servant Nanak; be kind to him, like a father to his son. ||4||1||

20Sorat'h, Fifth Mehla, First House, Chau-Thukay:

21Praise the Guru, and the Lord of the Universe, O Siblings of Destiny; enshrine Him in your mind, body and heart.

22Let the True Lord and Master abide in your mind, O Siblings of Destiny; this is the most excellent way of life.

23Those bodies, in which the Name of the Lord does not well up, O Siblings of Destiny - those bodies are reduced to ashes.

24I am a sacrifice to the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, O Siblings of Destiny; they take the Support of the One and Only Lord. ||1||

25So worship and adore that True Lord, O Siblings of Destiny; He alone does everything.

26The Perfect Guru has taught me, O Siblings of Destiny, that without Him, there is no other at all. ||Pause||

27Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, they putrefy and die, O Siblings of Destiny; their numbers cannot be counted.

28Without Truth, purity cannot be achieved, O Siblings of Destiny; the Lord is true and unfathomable.

29Coming and going do not end, O Siblings of Destiny; pride in worldly valuables is false.

30The Gurmukh saves millions of people, O Siblings of Destiny, blessing them with even a particle of the Name. ||2||

31I have searched through the Simritees and the Shaastras, O Siblings of Destiny - without the True Guru, doubt does not depart.

32They are so tired of performing their many deeds, O Siblings of Destiny, but they fall into bondage again and again.

33I have searched in the four directions, O Siblings of Destiny, but without the True Guru, there is no place at all.
