ik onkaar sat naam kartaa purakh nirbh-a-o nirvair akaal moorat ajoonee saibhn gur parsaad

There is but one God. True is His Name, creative His personality and immortal His form. He is without fears and enmity, unborn and self-illumined. By the Guru's grace He is obtained.

jap.

Embrace His meditation.

aad sach jugaad sach.

True in the prime, True in the beginning of ages,

hai bhee sach naanak hosee bhee sach.

True He is even now and True He verily, shall be, O Nanak!

sochai soch naa hov-a-ee jay sochee lakh vaar.

By pondering on God, man cannot have a conception of Him, even though he may ponder over lacs of times.

chupai chup naa hov-a-ee jay laa-i rahaa liv taar.

Even though one be silent and remains absorbed in Lord's constant love he obtains not mind's silence.

bhukhi-aa bhukh naa utree jay bannaa puree-aa bhaar.

The hunger of the hungry departs not, even though they may pile up loads of the world's valuables.

sehas si-aanpaa lakh hoh taa ik naa chalai naal.

Man may possess thousands and lacs of wits, but not even one (goes with him) avails him in the Lord's court.

kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal.

How can we be true and how can the screen of untruth be rent?

hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal.

O Nanak! By obeying, the pre-ordained order of the Lord's will.
