“O humble servant of the Lord, O true Guru, O Primal being: I offer my humble prayer to you, O Guru

I am a mere insect, a worm. O True Guru, I seek your sanctuary. Please be merciful, and bless me with the light of the Naam, the name of the Lord

O my best friend, O divine Guru, please enlighten me with the Name of the Lord.

Through the Guru’s teachings, the Naam is my breath of life. The Kirtan of the Lord’s praise is my life’s occupation

The servant’s of the Lord have the greatest good fortune; they have faith in the Lord, and a longing for the Lord

Obtaining the Name of the Lord, Har Har, they are satisfied; joining the Sangat, the Blessed Congregation, their virtues shine forth

Those that have not obtained the Sublime essence of the Name of the Lord, Har Har, are most unfortunate; they are led away by the messenger of death

Those who have not sought the Sanctuary of the True Guru and the Sangat, the Holy Congregation-cursed are their lives, and cursed are their hopes of life

Those humble servants of the Lord who have attained the Company of the True Guru, have such pre-ordained destiny inscribed on their foreheads

Blessed, blessed is the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, the Lord’s Essence is obtained. Meeting with Hies humble servant, O Nanak, the Light of the Naam shines forth.
