ੴ ਸਤਿਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

Ik Oankaar Sath Naam Karathaa Purakh Nirabho Niravair Akaal Moorath Ajoonee Saibhan Gur Prasaadh ||

One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

ਰਾਗੁ ਗੂਜਰੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੧ ਚਉਪਦੇ ਘਰੁ ੧ ॥

Raag Goojaree Mehalaa 1 Choupadhae Ghar 1 ||

Raag Goojaree, First Mehl, Chau-Padas, First House:

ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰੀ ਚਨਣਾਠੀਆ ਜੇ ਮਨੁ ਉਰਸਾ ਹੋਇ ॥

Thaeraa Naam Karee Chananaatheeaa Jae Man Ourasaa Hoe ||

I would make Your Name the sandalwood, and my mind the stone to rub it on;

ਕਰਣੀ ਕੁੰਗੂ ਜੇ ਰਲੈ ਘਟ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਪੂਜਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥

Karanee Kungoo Jae Ralai Ghatt Anthar Poojaa Hoe ||1||

For saffron, I would offer good deeds; thus, I perform worship and adoration within my heart. ||1||

ਪੂਜਾ ਕੀਚੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਪੂਜ ਨ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Poojaa Keechai Naam Dhhiaaeeai Bin Naavai Pooj N Hoe ||1|| Rehaao ||

Perform worship and adoration by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord; without the Name, there is no worship and adoration. ||1||Pause||

ਬਾਹਰਿ ਦੇਵ ਪਖਾਲੀਅਹਿ ਜੇ ਮਨੁ ਧੋਵੈ ਕੋਇ ॥

Baahar Dhaev Pakhaaleeahi Jae Man Dhhovai Koe ||

If one were to wash his heart inwardly, like the stone idol which is washed on the outside,

ਜੂਠਿ ਲਹੈ ਜੀਉ ਮਾਜੀਐ ਮੋਖ ਪਇਆਣਾ ਹੋਇ ॥੨॥

Jooth Lehai Jeeo Maajeeai Mokh Paeiaanaa Hoe ||2||

His filth would be removed, his soul would be cleansed, and he would be liberated when he departs. ||2||

ਪਸੂ ਮਿਲਹਿ ਚੰਗਿਆਈਆ ਖੜੁ ਖਾਵਹਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਦੇਹਿ ॥

Pasoo Milehi Changiaaeeaa Kharr Khaavehi Anmrith Dhaehi ||

Even beasts have value, as they eat grass and give milk.

ਨਾਮ ਵਿਹੂਣੇ ਆਦਮੀ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਜੀਵਣ ਕਰਮ ਕਰੇਹਿ ॥੩॥

Naam Vihoonae Aadhamee Dhhrig Jeevan Karam Karaehi ||3||

Without the Naam, the mortal's life is cursed, as are the actions he performs. ||3||

ਨੇੜਾ ਹੈ ਦੂਰਿ ਨ ਜਾਣਿਅਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਸੰਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਲੇ ॥

Naerraa Hai Dhoor N Jaaniahu Nith Saarae Sanmhaalae ||

The Lord is hear at hand - do not think that He is far away. He always cherishes us, and remembers us.

ਜੋ ਦੇਵੈ ਸੋ ਖਾਵਣਾ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਚਾ ਹੇ ॥੪॥੧॥

Jo Dhaevai So Khaavanaa Kahu Naanak Saachaa Hae ||4||1||

Whatever He gives us, we eat; says Nanak, He is the True Lord. ||4||1||
