1Ongkaar saves the world through the Shabad.

2Ongkaar saves the Gurmukhs.

3Listen to the Message of the Universal, Imperishable Creator Lord.

4The Universal, Imperishable Creator Lord is the essence of the three worlds. ||1||

5Listen, O Pandit, O religious scholar, why are you writing about worldly debates?

6As Gurmukh, write only the Name of the Lord, the Lord of the World. ||1||Pause||

7Sassa: He created the entire universe with ease; His One Light pervades the three worlds.

8Become Gurmukh, and obtain the real thing; gather the gems and pearls.

9If one understands, realizes and comprehends what he reads and studies, in the end he shall realize that the True Lord dwells deep within his nucleus.

10The Gurmukh sees and contemplates the True Lord; without the True Lord, the world is false. ||2||

11Dhadha: Those who enshrine Dharmic faith and dwell in the City of Dharma are worthy; their minds are steadfast and stable.

12Dhadha: If the dust of their feet touches one's face and forehead, he is transformed from iron into gold.

13Blessed is the Support of the Earth; He Himself is not born; His measure and speech are perfect and True.

14Only the Creator Himself knows His own extent; He alone knows the Brave Guru. ||3||

15In love with duality, spiritual wisdom is lost; the mortal rots away in pride, and eats poison.

16He thinks that the sublime essence of the Guru's song is useless, and he does not like to hear it. He loses the profound, unfathomable Lord.

17Through the Guru's Words of Truth, the Ambrosial Nectar is obtained, and the mind and body find joy in the True Lord.

18He Himself is the Gurmukh, and He Himself bestows the Ambrosial Nectar; He Himself leads us to drink it in. ||4||

19Everyone says that God is the One and only, but they are engrossed in egotism and pride.

20Realize that the One God is inside and outside; understand this, that the Mansion of His Presence is within the home of your heart.

21God is near at hand; do not think that God is far away. The One Lord permeates the entire universe.

22There in One Universal Creator Lord; there is no other at all. O Nanak, merge into the One Lord. ||5||

23How can you keep the Creator under your control? He cannot be seized or measured.

24Maya has made the mortal insane; she has administered the poisonous drug of falsehood.

25Addicted to greed and avarice, the mortal is ruined, and then later, he regrets and repents.

26So serve the One Lord, and attain the state of Salvation; your comings and goings shall cease. ||6||

27The One Lord is in all actions, colors and forms.

28He manifests in many shapes through wind, water and fire.

29The One Soul wanders through the three worlds.

30One who understands and comprehends the One Lord is honored.

31One who gathers in spiritual wisdom and meditation, dwells in the state of balance.

32How rare are those who, as Gurmukh, attain the One Lord.

33They alone find peace, whom the Lord blesses with His Grace.

34In the Gurdwara, the Guru's Door, they speak and hear of the Lord. ||7||

35His Light illuminates the ocean and the earth.

36Throughout the three worlds, is the Guru, the Lord of the World.

37The Lord reveals His various forms;

38granting His Grace, He enters the home of the heart.

39The clouds hang low, and the rain is pouring down.

40The Lord embellishes and exalts with the Sublime Word of the Shabad.

41One who knows the mystery of the One God,

42is Himself the Creator, Himself the Divine Lord. ||8||

43When the sun rises, the demons are slain;

44the mortal looks upwards, and contemplates the Shabad.

45The Lord is beyond the beginning and the end, beyond the three worlds.

46He Himself acts, speaks and listens.
