What can anyone else say? What can anyone explain? Only You Yourself can estimate Your worth. ||1||
The One Universal Creator created the entire Universe.
All the plays and dramas are to Your glory and greatness.
The True Lord Himself makes all distinctions; He Himself breaks and builds. ||2||
The Juggler has staged His juggling show.
Through the Perfect Guru, one comes to behold it.
One who remains forever detached in the Word of the Guru's Shabad - his consciousness is attuned to the True Lord. ||3||
The musical instruments of the body vibrate and resound.

Whatever the Creator does, surely comes to pass.
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, egotism is consumed.
By Guru's Grace, some are blessed with glorious greatness; they meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||5||
There is no other profit as great as service to the Guru.
The Naam abides within my mind, and I praise the Naam.
The Naam is forever the Giver of peace. Through the Naam, we earn the profit. ||6||
Without the Name, all the world suffers in misery.
The more actions one does, the more the corruption increases.
Without serving the Naam, how can anyone find peace? Without the Naam, one suffers in pain. ||7||
He Himself acts, and inspires all to act.
By Guru's Grace, He reveals Himself to a few.
One who becomes Gurmukh breaks his bonds, and attains the home of liberation. ||8||
One who calculates his accounts, burns in the world.
His skepticism and corruption are never dispelled.
One who becomes Gurmukh abandons his calculations; through Truth, we merge in the True Lord. ||9||
If God grants Truth, then we may attain it.
By Guru's Grace, it is revealed.
One who praises the True Name, and remains imbued with the Lord's Love, by Guru's Grace, finds peace. ||10||
The Beloved Naam, the Name of the Lord, is chanting, meditation, penance and self-control.
God, the Destroyer, destroys sins.
Through the Name of the Lord, the body and mind are cooled and soothed, and one is intuitively, easily absorbed into the Celestial Lord. ||11||
With greed within them, their minds are filthy, and they spread filth around.
They do filthy deeds, and suffer in pain.
They deal in falsehood, and nothing but falsehood; telling lies, they suffer in pain. ||12||
Rare is that person who enshrines the Immaculate Bani of the Guru's Word within his mind.
By Guru's Grace, his skepticism is removed.
