I have grasped hold of the All-powerful Guru; He has made my mind steady and stable, and embellished me with clear consciousness.

ਫੁਨਿ ਧ੍ਰੰਮ ਧੁਜਾ ਫਹਰੰਤਿ ਸਦਾ ਅਘ ਪੁੰਜ ਤਰੰਗ ਨਿਵਾਰਨ ਕਉ ॥

And, His Banner of Righteousness waves proudly forever, to defend against the waves of sin.

ਮਥੁਰਾ ਜਨ ਜਾਨਿ ਕਹੀ ਜੀਅ ਸਾਚੁ ਸੁ ਅਉਰ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਬਿਚਾਰਨ ਕਉ ॥

mathuraa jan jaan kahee jeea saach su aaur kachhoo na bichaaran kau |

His humble servant Mat'hraa knows this as true, and speaks it from his soul; there is nothing else to consider.

In this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Lord's Name is the Great Ship, to carry us all across the terrifying world-ocean, safely to the other side. ||2||
