Whoever tells me the Stories of my Beloved Lord is my Sibling of Destiny, and my friend. ||2||

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

He is the Creator of all, He is the Enjoyer of all. ||1||Pause||

The Creator listens, and the Creator sees.

The Creator is unseen, and the Creator is seen.

The Creator forms, and the Creator destroys.

The Creator touches, and the Creator is detached. ||1||

The Creator is the One who speaks, and the Creator is the One who understands.

The Creator comes, and the Creator also goes.

The Creator is absolute and without qualities; the Creator is related, with the most excellent qualities.

By Guru's Grace, Nanak looks upon all the same. ||2||1||
