ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

Ik Oankar Sath Nam Karatha Purakh Nirabho Niravair Akal Moorath Ajoonee Saibhan Gur Prasadh ||

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 ॥

Rag Goojaree Mehala 1 Choupadhae Ghar 1 ||

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

ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰੀ ਚਨਣਾਠੀਆ ਜੇ ਮਨੁ ਉਰਸਾ ਹੋਇ ॥

Thaera Nam Karee Chananatheea Jae Man Ourasa 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 Pooja 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 ॥

Pooja Keechai Nam Dhhiaeeai Bin Navai Pooj N Hoe ||1|| Rehao ||

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 ॥

Bahar Dhaev Pakhaleeahi 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 Majeeai Mokh Paeiana 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 Changiaeea Kharr Khavehi Anmrith Dhaehi ||

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

ਨੇੜਾ ਹੈ ਦੂਰਿ ਨ ਜਾਣਿਅਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਸੰਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾ ਲੇ ॥

Naerra Hai Dhoor N Janiahu Nith Sarae Sanmhalae ||

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 Khavana Kahu Naanak Sacha Hae ||4||1||

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