Drink in the ambrosial essence of the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe.
Focus your consciousness on the One, the All-pervading Lord
He has One Form, but He has many manifestations.
Sustainer of the Universe, Lord of the world, Kind to the poor,
Destroyer of sorrow, perfectly Merciful.
Meditate, meditate in remembrance on the Naam, again and again.
O Nanak, it is the Support of the soul. ||2||
The most sublime hymns are the Words of the Holy.
These are priceless rubies and gems.
One who listens and acts on them is saved.
He himself swims across, and saves others as well.
His life is prosperous, and his company is fruitful;
his mind is imbued with the love of the Lord.
Hail, hail to him, for whom the sound current of the Shabad vibrates.
Hearing it again and again, he is in bliss, proclaiming God's Praises.
The Lord radiates from the foreheads of the Holy.
Nanak is saved in their company. ||3||
Hearing that He can give Sanctuary, I have come seeking His Sanctuary.
Bestowing His Mercy, God has blended me with Himself.
Hatred is gone, and I have become the dust of all.
