ਕਲਿਜੁਗਿ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਉ ਲੈ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਵੈ ਭਵਜਲ ਭਰਨਾਲਾ।

Kalijugi Guramukhi Naaun Lai Paari Pavai Bhavajal Bharanalaa |

The gurmukhs, in kaliyug go across the world-ocean by repeating the name of the Lord.

ਚਾਰਿ ਚਰਣ ਸਤਿਜੁਗੈ ਵਿਚਿ ਤ੍ਰੇਤੈ ਚਉਥੈ ਚਰਣ ਉਕਾਲਾ।

Chaari Charan Satijugai Vichi Traytai Chaudai Charan Ukaalaa |

Dharma had four feet in the satyug but in treta, the fourth foot of dharma was made cripple.

ਦੁਆਪੁਰਿ ਹੋਏ ਪੈਰ ਦੁਇ ਇਕਤੈ ਪੈਰ ਧਰੰਮੁ ਦੁਖਾਲਾ।

Duaapuri Hoay Pair Dui Ikatai Pair Dharanmu Dukhaalaa |

In dvapar only two feet of dharma survived and in kaliyug the dharma stands only on one foot to undergo the sufferings.

ਮਾਣੁ ਨਿਮਾਣੈ ਜਾਣਿ ਕੈ ਬਿਨਉ ਕਰੈ ਕਰਿ ਨਦਰਿ ਨਿਹਾਲਾ।

Maanu Nimaanai Jaani Kai Binau Karai Kari Nadari Nihaalaa |

Considering the Lord as the strength of the powerless ones, it (dharma) started praying for the liberation through the grace of the Lord.

ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਪਰਗਾਸੁ ਕਰਿ ਧੀਰਜੁ ਧਰਮ ਸਚੀ ਧਰਮਸਾਲਾ।

Gur Poorai Pragaasu Kari Dheeraju Dharam Sachee Dharamasaalaa |

The Lord manifesting in the form of the perfect Gum created the true abode of fortitude and the dharma.

ਆਪੇ ਖੇਤ ਆਪੇ ਰਖਵਾਲਾ ॥੮॥

Aapay Khaytu Aapay Rakhavaalaa ||8 ||

Himself is the field (of creation) and Himself its protector.
