ਨਿਹਚਲ ਨੀਉ ਧਰਾਈਓਨੁ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਸਚ ਖੰਡ ਸਮੇਉ॥

Nihachal Neeo Dhharaeeoun Sadhhasangath Sach Khandd Samaeou||

The steadfast foundation of the abode of truth in the form of holy congregation was laid thoughtfully (by Guru Na-nak Dev)

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪੰਥੁ ਚਲਾਇਓਨੁ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਬੇਅੰਤੁ ਅਮੇਉ॥

Guramukh Panthh Chalaeioun Sukh Sagar Baeanth Amaeou||

And he promulgated gurmukh-panth (Sikhism) which is ocean of infinite pleasures.

ਸਚਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਆਰਾਧੀਐ ਅਗਮ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਅਲਖ ਅਭੇਉ॥

Sach Sabadh Aradhheeai Agam Agochar Alakh Abhaeou||

There, true word is practised which is unapproachable, imperceptible and mystical.

ਚਹੁ ਵਰਨਾਂ ਉਪਦੇਸਦਾ ਛਿਅ ਦਰਸਨ ਸਭਿ ਸੇਵਕ ਸੇਉ॥

Chahu Varanan Oupadhaesadha Shhia Dharasan Sabh Saevak Saeou||

That abode of truth preaches to all the four varnas and all the six philosophies (of Indian origin) remain absorbed in its service.

ਮਿਠਾ ਬੋਲਣੁ ਨਿਵ ਚਲਣੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਭਾਉ ਭਗਤਿ ਅਰਥੇਉ॥

Mitha Bolan Niv Chalan Guramukh Bhao Bhagath Arathhaeou||

Gurmukhs (there) speak sweetly, move humbly and are seekers of devotion.

ਆਦਿ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਆਦੇਸੁ ਹੈ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ਅਤਿ ਅਛਲ ਅਛੇਉ॥

Adh Purakh Adhaes Hai Abinasee Ath Ashhal Ashhaeou||

Salutations are due to that primal Lord who is undestructible, undeceivable and unending.

ਜਗਤੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੁਰੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਉ ॥੨॥

Jagath Guroo Gur Naanak Dhaeo ||a||

Guru Nanak is the enlightener (Guru) of the entire world.
