English Translation:
I receive all the commodities (joys), if him alone I obtain.
The invaluable human life becomes fruitful,
if the true Shabd be repeated.
He, whose, brow bears such a writ,
obtains Lord's presence through the Guru.
O my mind! fix your attention on the one Lord.
Without One God, all else is but entanglement
and emotional attachment to illusory maya.
If the true Guru casts his merciful glance,
I enjoy the happiness of lakhs of empires.
Were he to bless me with his Nam even for a trice,
my mind and body will become cool.
They, who are so pre-ordained, hold fast the feet of the true Guru.
Fruitful is the moment and fruitful the time
when love for the true Lord is embraced.
Suffering and sorrow do not touch him,
who has the support of God's Nam.
Whom the Guru takes out, seizing by the arm
he crosses the sea of life.
Embellished and immaculate is the place
where the Saints gather.
He alone, who has found the perfect Guru,
obtains the place of protection.
Nanak has founded his house on that ground
where there is no death, birth and old age.
This shabad is published by Radha Soami Satsang Beas.
