I surrender to my own Guru,
I sing for eight pahars¹ the praise,
of the All-Pervasive, the All-Pervasive. 1.
I remember my own Divine Owner,
the Knower of all hearts. 1. Reflect.
As love develops for the Lotus-Feet,
conduct becomes eternal,
complete and immaculate. 2.
By Truth-Exemplar’s Grace,
the One comes to reside in the mind,
the evil of many life-times leaves . 3.
O! Compassionate Divine,
bestow Grace on the meek.
Nanak asks for Truth-Exemplar’s dust-blessing. 4.
1 Unit of time equaling 3 hours. 8 pahars make 24 hours.
