1O Baba, he alone receives it, unto whom You give it.

2He alone receives it, unto whom You give it; what can the other poor wretched beings do?

3Some are deluded by doubt, wandering in the ten directions; some are adorned with attachment to the Naam.

4By Guru's Grace, the mind becomes immaculate and pure, for those who follow God's Will.

5Says Nanak, he alone receives it, unto whom You give it, O Beloved Lord. ||8||

6Come, Beloved Saints, let us speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord.

7How can we speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord? Through which door will we find Him?

8Surrender body, mind, wealth, and everything to the Guru; obey the Order of His Will, and you will find Him.

9Obey the Hukam of the Guru's Command, and sing the True Word of His Bani.

10Says Nanak, listen, O Saints, and speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord. ||9||

11O fickle mind, through cleverness, no one has found the Lord.

12Through cleverness, no one has found Him; listen, O my mind.

13This Maya is so fascinating; because of it, people wander in doubt.

14This fascinating Maya was created by the One who has administered this potion.

15I am a sacrifice to the One who has made emotional attachment sweet.

16Says Nanak, O fickle mind, no one has found Him through cleverness. ||10||

17O beloved mind, contemplate the True Lord forever.

18This family which you see shall not go along with you.

19They shall not go along with you, so why do you focus your attention on them?

20Don't do anything that you will regret in the end.

21Listen to the Teachings of the True Guru - these shall go along with you.

22Says Nanak, O beloved mind, contemplate the True Lord forever. ||11||

23O inaccessible and unfathomable Lord, Your limits cannot be found.

24No one has found Your limits; only You Yourself know.

25All living beings and creatures are Your play; how can anyone describe You?

26You speak, and You gaze upon all; You created the Universe.

27Says Nanak, You are forever inaccessible; Your limits cannot be found. ||12||

28The angelic beings and the silent sages search for the Ambrosial Nectar; this Amrit is obtained from the Guru.

29This Amrit is obtained, when the Guru grants His Grace; He enshrines the True Lord within the mind.

30All living beings and creatures were created by You; only some come to see the Guru, and seek His blessing.

31Their greed, avarice and egotism are dispelled, and the True Guru seems sweet.

32Says Nanak, those with whom the Lord is pleased, obtain the Amrit, through the Guru. ||13||

33The lifestyle of the devotees is unique and distinct.

34The devotees' lifestyle is unique and distinct; they follow the most difficult path.

35They renounce greed, avarice, egotism and desire; they do not talk too much.

36The path they take is sharper than a two-edged sword, and finer than a hair.
