guramukh naam dhiaaeeai manamukh boojh na paae |

The Gurmukhs meditate on the Naam; the self-willed manmukhs do not understand.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਦਾ ਮੁਖ ਊਜਲੇ ਹਰਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥

guramukh sadaa mukh aoojale har vasiaa man aae |

The faces of the Gurmukhs are always radiant; the Lord has come to dwell within their minds.

ਸਹਜੇ ਹੀ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਸਹਜੇ ਰਹੈ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੧॥

sahaje hee sukh paaeeai sahaje rahai samaae |1|

Through intuitive understanding they are at peace, and through intuitive understanding they remain absorbed in the Lord. ||1||

O Siblings of Destiny, be the slaves of the Lord's slaves.

ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਗੁਰ ਭਗਤਿ ਹੈ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਪਾਏ ਕੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

Service to the Guru is worship of the Guru. How rare are those who obtain it! ||1||Pause||

sadaa suhaag suhaaganee je chaleh satigur bhaae |

The happy soul-bride is always with her Husband Lord, if she walks in harmony with the Will of the True Guru.

ਸਦਾ ਪਿਰੁ ਨਿਹਚਲੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਾ ਓਹੁ ਮਰੈ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

She attains her Eternal, Ever-stable Husband, who never dies or goes away.

ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲੀ ਨਾ ਵੀਛੁੜੈ ਪਿਰ ਕੈ ਅੰਕਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੨॥

United with the Word of the Shabad, she shall not be separated again. She is immersed in the Lap of her Beloved. ||2||

har niramal at aoojalaa bin gur paaeaa na jaae |

The Lord is Immaculate and Radiantly Bright; without the Guru, He cannot be found.

ਪਾਠੁ ਪੜੈ ਨਾ ਬੂਝਈ ਭੇਖੀ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਇ ॥

paatth parrai naa boojhee bhekhee bharam bhulaae |

He cannot be understood by reading scriptures; the deceitful pretenders are deluded by doubt.

ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਸਦਾ ਪਾਇਆ ਰਸਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੩॥

maaeaa bhoole sidh fireh samaadh na lagai subhaae |

The Siddhas wander around, deluded by Maya; they are not absorbed in the Samaadhi of the Lord's Sublime Love.

ਤੀਨੇ ਲੋਅ ਵਿਆਪਤ ਹੈ ਅਧਿਕ ਰਹੀ ਲਪਟਾਇ ॥

teene loa viaapat hai adhik rahee lapattaae |

The three worlds are permeated by Maya; they are totally covered by it.

ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਾ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਮਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥੫॥

bin gur mukat na paaeeai naa dubidhaa maaeaa jaae |5|

Without the Guru, liberation is not attained, and the double-mindedness of Maya does not go away. ||5||

ਮਾਇਆ ਕਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਖੀਐ ਕਿਆ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

maaeaa kis no aakheeai kiaa maaeaa karam kamaae |

What is called Maya? What does Maya do?

ਦੁਖਿ ਸੁਖਿ ਏਹੁ ਜੀਉ ਬਧੁ ਹੈ ਹਉਮੈ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਇ ॥

dukh sukh ehu jeeo badh hai haumai karam kamaae |

These beings are bound by pleasure and pain; they do their deeds in egotism.

ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਭਰਮੁ ਨ ਚੂਕਈ ਨਾ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਹਉਮੈ ਜਾਇ ॥੬॥

Without the Shabad, doubt is not dispelled, and egotism is not eliminated from within. ||6||

ਬਿਨੁ ਪ੍ਰੀਤੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਥਾਇ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥

bin preetee bhagat na hovee bin sabadai thaae na paae |

Without love, there is no devotional worship. Without the Shabad, no one finds acceptance.

ਸਬਦੇ ਹਉਮੈ ਮਾਰੀਐ ਮਾਇਆ ਕਾ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਜਾਇ ॥

sabade haumai maareeai maaeaa kaa bhram jaae |

Through the Shabad, egotism is conquered and subdued, and the illusion of Maya is dispelled.

Without the Guru, one's virtues do not shine forth; without virtue, there is no devotional worship.

ਭਗਤਿ ਵਛਲੁ ਹਰਿ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਸਹਜਿ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੋਇ ॥

bhagat vachhal har man vasiaa sehaj miliaa prabh soe |

The Lord is the Lover of His devotees; He abides within their minds. They meet that God with intuitive ease.
