5th Pauree
Thaapiaa na jaa-ie keetaa na ho-ie.
Aapay aap niranjan so-ie.
Jin sayviaa tin paa-ie-aa maan.
Naanak gaavee-ai gunnee nidhaan.
Gaavee-ai sunnee-ai man rakhee-ai bhaa-o.
Dukh parhar sukh ghar lai jaa-ie.
Gurmukh naadang gurmukh vaydang gurmukh rehiaa samaaee.
Gur eesar gur gorakh barmaa gur paarbatee maa-ee.
Jay hau jaannaa aakhaa naahee kehannaa kathan na jaa-ee.
Guraa iek dayeh bujhaa-ee.
Sabhnaa jee-aa kaa iek daataa so mai visar na jaa-ee. ||5||
The True One cannot be established,
the True One cannot be created.
The True One is immaculate and pure.
Those who serve the True One are honored.
O Nanak, sing of the True One, the treasure of excellence.
Sing and listen, and let your mind be filled with love.
Your pain shall be sent far away,
and peace shall come to your home.
The Guru’s Word is the sound-current of the Naad;
the Guru’s Word is the wisdom of the Vedas;
the Guru’s Word is all-pervading.
The Guru is Shiva, the Guru is Vishnu and Brahma;
the Guru is Parvati and Lakhshmi.
Even knowing God, I cannot describe the True One;
the True One cannot be described in words.
The Guru has given me this one understanding.
There is only the One, the Giver of all souls,
may I never forget the True One!
