With my tongue, I sing the Glorious Praises of the infinite Lord God. ||19||

Shalok:

I see only the One Lord; I hear only the One Lord; the One Lord is all-pervading.

Nanak begs for the gift of the Naam; O Merciful Lord God, please grant Your Grace. ||1||

I serve the One Lord, I contemplate the One Lord, and to the One Lord, I offer my prayer.

Nanak has gathered in the wealth, the merchandise of the Naam; this is the true capital. ||2||

Pauree:

God is merciful and infinite. The One and Only is all-pervading.

He Himself is all-in-all. Who else can we speak of?

God Himself grants His gifts, and He Himself receives them.

Coming and going are all by the Hukam of Your Will; Your place is steady and unchanging.

Nanak begs for this gift; by Your Grace, Lord, please grant me Your Name. ||20||1||

Jaitsree, The Word Of The Devotees:

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

O my Lord and Master, I know nothing.

My mind has sold out, and is in Maya's hands. ||1||Pause||

You are called the Lord and Master, the Guru of the World.

I am called a lustful being of the Dark Age of Kali Yuga. ||1||

The five vices have corrupted my mind.

Moment by moment, they lead me further away from the Lord. ||2||

Wherever I look, I see loads of pain and suffering.

I do not have faith, even though the Vedas bear witness to the Lord. ||3||

Shiva cut off Brahma's head, and Gautam's wife and the Lord Indra mated; Brahma's head got stuck to Shiva's hand, and Indra came to bear the marks of a thousand female organs. ||4||

These demons have fooled, bound and destroyed me.

I am very shameless - even now, I am not tired of them. ||5||

Says Ravi Daas, what am I to do now?

Without the Sanctuary of the Lord's Protection, who else's should I seek? ||6||1||
