You Yourself staged the drama in the arena of the world, and You Yourself evaluate the players. ||5||

You Yourself are the bumble bee, the flower, the fruit and the tree.

You Yourself are the water, the desert, the ocean and the pool.

You Yourself are the great fish, the tortoise, the Cause of causes; Your form cannot be known. ||6||

You Yourself are the day, and You Yourself are the night.

You Yourself are pleased by the Word of the Guru's Bani.

From the very beginning, and throughout the ages, the unstruck sound current resounds, night and day; in each and every heart, the Word of the Shabad, echoes Your Will. ||7||

You Yourself are the jewel, incomparably beautiful and priceless.

You Yourself are the Assessor, the Perfect Weigher.

You Yourself test and forgive. You Yourself give and take, O Siblings of Destiny. ||8||

He Himself is the bow, and He Himself is the archer.

He Himself is all-wise, beautiful and all-knowing.

He is the speaker, the orator and the listener. He Himself made what is made. ||9||

Air is the Guru, and water is known to be the father.

The womb of the great mother earth gives birth to all.

Night and day are the two nurses, male and female; the world plays in this play. ||10||

You Yourself are the fish, and You Yourself are the net.

You Yourself are the cows, and You yourself are their keeper.

Your Light fills all the beings of the world; they walk according to Your Command, O God. ||11||

You Yourself are the Yogi, and You Yourself are the enjoyer.

You Yourself are the reveller; You form the supreme Union.

You Yourself are speechless, formless and fearless, absorbed in the primal ecstasy of deep meditation. ||12||

The sources of creation and speech are contained within You, Lord.

All that is seen, is coming and going.

They are the true bankers and traders, whom the True Guru has inspired to understand. ||13||

The Word of the Shabad is understood through the Perfect True Guru.

The True Lord is overflowing with all powers.

You are beyond our grasp, and forever independent. You do not have even an iota of greed. ||14||

Birth and death are meaningless, for those

who enjoy the sublime celestial essence of the Shabad within their minds.

He Himself is the Giver of liberation, satisfaction and blessings, to those devotees who love Him in their minds. ||15||

He Himself is immaculate; by contact with the Guru, spiritual wisdom is obtained.

Whatever is seen, shall merge into You.

Nanak, the lowly, begs for charity at Your Door; please, bless him with the glorious greatness of Your Name. ||16||1||
