Shalok:

ਘੋਖੇ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਬੇਦ ਸਭ ਆਨ ਨ ਕਥਤਉ ਕੋਇ ॥

Ghokhae Saasathr Baedh Sabh Aan N Kathhatho Koe ||

I have searched all the Shaastras and the Vedas, and they say nothing except this:

ਆਦਿ ਜੁਗਾਦੀ ਹੁਣਿ ਹੋਵਤ ਨਾਨਕ ਏਕੈ ਸੋਇ ॥੧॥

Aadh Jugaadhee Hun Hovath Naanak Eaekai Soe ||1||

"In the beginning, throughout the ages, now and forevermore, O Nanak, the One Lord alone exists."||1||

Pauree:

ਘਘਾ ਘਾਲਹੁ ਮਨਹਿ ਏਹ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਦੂਸਰ ਨਾਹਿ ॥

Ghaghaa Ghaalahu Manehi Eaeh Bin Har Dhoosar Naahi ||

GHAGHA: Put this into your mind, that there is no one except the Lord.

ਨਹ ਹੋਆ ਨਹ ਹੋਵਨਾ ਜਤ ਕਤ ਓਹੀ ਸਮਾਹਿ ॥

Neh Hoaa Neh Hovanaa Jath Kath Ouhee Samaahi ||

There never was, and there never shall be. He is pervading everywhere.

ਘੂਲਹਿ ਤਉ ਮਨ ਜਉ ਆਵਹਿ ਸਰਨਾ ॥

Ghoolehi Tho Man Jo Aavehi Saranaa ||

You shall be absorbed into Him, O mind, if you come to His Sanctuary.

ਨਾਮ ਤਤੁ ਕਲਿ ਮਹਿ ਪੁਨਹਚਰਨਾ ॥

Naam Thath Kal Mehi Punehacharanaa ||

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, only the Naam, the Name of the Lord, shall be of any real use to you.

ਘਾਲਿ ਘਾਲਿ ਅਨਿਕ ਪਛੁਤਾਵਹਿ ॥

Ghaal Ghaal Anik Pashhuthaavehi ||

So many work and slave continually, but they come to regret and repent in the end.

ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਹਾ ਥਿਤਿ ਪਾਵਹਿ ॥

Bin Har Bhagath Kehaa Thhith Paavehi ||

Without devotional worship of the Lord, how can they find stability?

ਘੋਲਿ ਮਹਾ ਰਸੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਤਿਹ ਪੀਆ ॥

Ghol Mehaa Ras Anmrith Thih Peeaa ||

They alone taste the supreme essence, and drink in the Ambrosial Nectar,
