ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਸਚਾ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੁ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਗਾਡੀ ਰਾਹੁ ਚਲਾਇਆ ।

satigur sachaa paatisaahu guramukh gaaddee raahu chalaaeaa |

The true Guru, the real emperor has put the Guru-oriented (gurmukh) on the high road ( of liberation).

ਪੰਜਿ ਦੂਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਭੂਤ ਵਸਿ ਦੁਰਮਤਿ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਾਉ ਮਿਟਾਇਆ ।

panj doot kar bhoot vas duramat doojaa bhaau mittaaeaa |

He restrains the deadly sins, the five evil inclinations and the sense of duality.

ਸਬਦ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਲਿਵਿ ਚਲਣਾ ਜਮੁ ਜਾਗਾਤੀ ਨੇੜਿ ਨ ਆਇਆ ।

sabad surat liv chalanaa jam jaagaatee nerr na aaeaa |

Gurmukhs spend their lives while keeping their heart and mind attuned with the sabda (word) and therefore death, the tax-gatherer does not approach them.

ਬੇਮੁਖਿ ਬਾਰਹ ਵਾਟ ਕਰਿ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਸਚੁ ਖੰਡੁ ਵਸਾਇਆ ।

bemukh baarah vaatt kar saadhasangat sach khandd vasaaeaa |

The Guru had dispersed the apostates into the twelve sects (of the yogis), and seated the holy congregation of the saints in the domain of Truth (the sachkhand).

ਭਾਉ ਭਗਤਿ ਭਉ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਦੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਦਾਨੁ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇਆ ।

bhaau bhagat bhau mantru de naam daan isanaan drirraaeaa |

By the spell of the Nam, the gurumukhs have inculcated love, devotion, fear, charity and ablutions.

ਜਿਉ ਜਲ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਕਮਲ ਹੈ ਮਾਇਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਉਦਾਸੁ ਰਹਾਇਆ ।

jiau jal andar kamal hai maaeaa vich udaas rahaaeaa |

The gurmukhs keep themselves unaffected by the evils of the world as the lotus remains unwet in water.

ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ਨ ਆਪੁ ਗਣਾਇਆ ।੧੩।

aap gavaae na aap ganaaeaa |13|

Gurmukhs efface their individuality and do not pose to assert themselves.
