The Lord's Name is the Support of my mind and body; I am united with the all-knowing Primal Lord God. || 2 || The Guru, the Primal Being, has united me with the Primal Lord God. My consciousness has merged into the supreme consciousness. By great good fortune, I serve the Guru, and I have found my Lord, all-wise and all-knowing. The selfwilled manmukhs are very unfortunate; they pass their life-night in misery and pain. || 3 || I am just a meek beggar at Your Door, God; please, place the Ambrosial Word of Your Bani in my mouth.

Il 3 11 Begging, imploring, I seek Your Sanctuary; Lord, shower me with Your Mercy, and save me, God. Lead me to join the Society of the Saints, and bless me with the honor and glory of the Lord's Name. I have obtained the wealth of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har; servant Nanak chants the Lord's Name, through the Guru's Teachings. || 4 || 4 || 6 |||
