1The burning fire has been put out; God Himself has saved me.

2Meditate on that God, O Nanak, who created the universe. ||2||

3Pauree:

4When God becomes merciful, Maya does not cling.

5Millions of sins are eliminated, by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the One Lord.

6The body is made immaculate and pure, bathing in the dust of the feet of the Lord's humble servants.

7The mind and body become contented, finding the Perfect Lord God.

8One is saved, along with his family, and all his ancestors. ||18||

9Shalok:

10The Guru is the Lord of the Universe; the Guru is the Lord of the world; the Guru is the Perfect Pervading Lord God.

11The Guru is compassionate; the Guru is all-powerful; the Guru, O Nanak, is the Saving Grace of sinners. ||1||

12The Guru is the boat, to cross over the dangerous, treacherous, unfathomable world-ocean.

13O Nanak, by perfect good karma, one is attached to the feet of the True Guru. ||2||

14Pauree:

15Blessed, blessed is the Divine Guru; associating with Him, one meditates on the Lord.

16When the Guru becomes merciful, then all one's demerits are dispelled.

17The Supreme Lord God, the Divine Guru, uplifts and exalts the lowly.

18Cutting away the painful noose of Maya, He makes us His own slaves.

19With my tongue, I sing the Glorious Praises of the infinite Lord God. ||19||

20Shalok:

21I see only the One Lord; I hear only the One Lord; the One Lord is all-pervading.

22Nanak begs for the gift of the Naam; O Merciful Lord God, please grant Your Grace. ||1||

23I serve the One Lord, I contemplate the One Lord, and to the One Lord, I offer my prayer.

24Nanak has gathered in the wealth, the merchandise of the Naam; this is the true capital. ||2||

25Pauree:

26God is merciful and infinite. The One and Only is all-pervading.

27He Himself is all-in-all. Who else can we speak of?

28God Himself grants His gifts, and He Himself receives them.

29Coming and going are all by the Hukam of Your Will; Your place is steady and unchanging.

30Nanak begs for this gift; by Your Grace, Lord, please grant me Your Name. ||20||1||

31Jaitsree, The Word Of The Devotees:

32One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

33O my Lord and Master, I know nothing.

34My mind has sold out, and is in Maya's hands. ||1||Pause||

35You are called the Lord and Master, the Guru of the World.

36I am called a lustful being of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga. ||1||

37The five vices have corrupted my mind.

38Moment by moment, they lead me further away from the Lord. ||2||

39Wherever I look, I see loads of pain and suffering.

40I do not have faith, even though the Vedas bear witness to the Lord. ||3||

41Shiva cut off Brahma's head, and Gautam's wife and the Lord Indra mated; Brahma's head got stuck to Shiva's hand, and Indra came to bear the marks of a thousand female organs. ||4||

42These demons have fooled, bound and destroyed me.

43I am very shameless - even now, I am not tired of them. ||5||

44Says Ravi Daas, what am I to do now?

45Without the Sanctuary of the Lord's Protection, who else's should I seek? ||6||1||
