Pauree:

ਸੋ ਐਸਾ ਦਾਤਾਰੁ ਮਨਹੁ ਨ ਵੀਸਰੈ ॥

so aisaa daataar manahu na veesarai |

Such is that Great Giver; may I never forget Him from my mind.

ਘੜੀ ਨ ਮੁਹਤੁ ਚਸਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾ ਸਰੈ ॥

gharree na muhat chasaa tis bin naa sarai |

I cannot survive without Him, for an instant, for a moment, for a second.

ਅੰਤਰਿ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਸੰਗਿ ਕਿਆ ਕੋ ਲੁਕਿ ਕਰੈ ॥

antar baahar sang kiaa ko luk karai |

Inwardly and outwardly, He is with us; how can we hide anything from Him?

ਜਿਸੁ ਪਤਿ ਰਖੈ ਆਪਿ ਸੋ ਭਵਜਲੁ ਤਰੈ ॥

jis pat rakhai aap so bhavajal tarai |

One whose honor He Himself has preserved, crosses over the terrifying world-ocean.

ਭਗਤੁ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਤਪਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰੈ ॥

bhagat giaanee tapaa jis kirapaa karai |

He alone is a devotee, a spiritual teacher, and a disciplined pratictioner of meditation, whom the Lord has so blessed.

ਸੋ ਪੂਰਾ ਪਰਧਾਨੁ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਬਲੁ ਧਰੈ ॥

so pooraa paradhaan jis no bal dharai |

He alone is perfect and renowned as supreme, whom the Lord has blessed with His power.

ਜਿਸਹਿ ਜਰਾਏ ਆਪਿ ਸੋਈ ਅਜਰੁ ਜਰੈ ॥

jiseh jaraae aap soee ajar jarai |

He alone endures the unendurable, whom the Lord inspires to endure it.

ਤਿਸ ਹੀ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਸਚੁ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਗੁਰ ਮਨਿ ਧਰੈ ॥੩॥

tis hee miliaa sach mantru gur man dharai |3|

And he alone meets the True Lord, within whose mind the Guru's Mantra is implanted. ||3||
