Those who meditate in remembrance on the Perfect Guru, are exalted and uplifted.

O Nanak, dwelling on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, all affairs are resolved. ||8||

The sinners act, and generate bad karma, and then they weep and wail.

O Nanak, just as the churning stick churns the butter, so does the Righteous Judge of Dharma churn them. ||9||

Meditating on the Naam, O friend, the treasure of life is won.

O Nanak, speaking in Righteousness, one's world becomes sanctified. ||10||

I am stuck in an evil place, trusting the sweet words of an evil advisor.

O Nanak, they alone are saved, who have such good destiny inscribed upon their foreheads. ||11||

They alone sleep and dream in peace, who are imbued with the Love of their Husband Lord.

Those who have been separated from the Love of their Master, scream and cry twenty-four hours a day. ||12||

Millions are asleep, in the false illusion of Maya.

O Nanak, they alone are awake and aware, who chant the Naam with their tongues. ||13||

Seeing the mirage, the optical illusion, the people are confused and deluded.

Those who worship and adore the True Lord, O Nanak, their minds and bodies are beautiful. ||14||

The All-powerful Supreme Lord God, the Infinite Primal Being, is the Saving Grace of sinners.
