ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀਓ ਹਾਜ਼ਰ ਨਾਜ਼ਰ ਹੈ ।

Waaheguru is Omnipresent

ਦਿਲੋ ਜਾਨਮ ਬ-ਹਰ ਸਬਾਹੋ ਮਸਾ ।

Every morning and evening, my heart and soul,

ਸਰੋ ਫ਼ਰਕਮ ਜ਼ਿ ਰੂਇ ਸਿਦਕੋ ਸਫ਼ਾ ।੧।

My head and forehead with faith and clarity (1)

ਬਾਦ ਬਰ ਮੁਰਸ਼ਦ ਤਰੀਕਿ ਨਿਸਾਰ ।

Shall sacrifice for my Guru,

ਅਜ਼ ਸਰਿ ਇਜਜ਼ ਸਦ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਬਾਰ ।੨।

And sacrifice with humility by bowing my head millions of times. (2)

ਕਿ ਜ਼ਿ ਇਨਸਾਂ ਮਲਿਕ ਨਮੂਦਸਤ ਊ ।

Because, he created angels out of ordinary human beings,

ਇਜ਼ਤਿ ਖ਼ਾਕੀਆਂ ਫ਼ਜ਼ੂਦਸਤ ਊ ।੩।

And, he elevated the status and honor of the earthly beings. (3)

ਖ਼ਾਸਗਾਂ ਜੁਮਲਾ ਖ਼ਾਕਿ ਪਾਇ ਊ ।

All those honored by Him are, in fact, the dust of His feet,

ਹਮਾ ਮਲਕੂਤੀਆਂ ਫ਼ਿਦਾਇ ਊ ।੪।

And, all gods and goddesses are willing to sacrifice themselves for Him. (4)

ਗਰ ਫ਼ਿਰੋਜ਼ਦ ਹਜ਼ਾਰ ਮਿਹਰੋ ਮਾਹ ।

Even though, thousands of moons and suns might be shinig,

ਆਲਮੇ ਦਾਂ ਜੁਜ਼ ਊ ਤਮਾਮ ਸਿਆਹ ।੫।

Still the whole world will be in pitch darkness without Him. (5)

ਮੁਰਸ਼ਦਿ ਪਾਕ ਨੂਰਿ ਹੱਕ ਆਮਦ ।

Holy and chaste Guru is the image of Akaalpurakh Himself,

ਜ਼ਾਂ ਸਬੱਬ ਦਰ ਦਿਲਮ ਸਬਕ ਆਮਦ ।੬।

That is the reason that I have settled Him inside my heart. (6)

ਆਂ ਕਸਾਨੇ ਕਿ ਜ਼ੋ ਨ ਯਾਦ ਆਰੰਦ ।

Those persons who do not contemplate Him,

ਸਮਰਾ-ਏ ਜਾਨੋ ਦਿਲ ਬਬਾਦ ਆਰੰਦ ।੭।

Take it that they have wasted the fruit of their heart and soul for nothing. (7)

ਮਜ਼ਰਾ-ਇ ਪੁਰ ਸਮਰ ਬ-ਅਰਜ਼ਾਨੀ ।

This field loaded with cheap fruits,

ਚੂੰ ਮ-ਬੀਨਦ ਜ਼ਿ ਦੂਰ ਸੇਰਾਨੀ ।੮।

When he looks at them to his heart's content, (8)

ਇੰਬਸਾਤ ਆਇਦਸ਼ ਅਜ਼ਾਂ ਦੀਦਨ ।

Then he gets a special kind of pleasure to look at them,

ਬਰ ਸ਼ਤਾਬਦ ਜ਼ਿ ਬਹਿਰਿ ਬਰਚੀਦਨ ।੯।

And, he runs towards them to pluck them. (9)

ਲੇਕ ਹਾਸਿਲ ਨਿਆਰਦ ਅਜ਼ ਵੈ ਬਾਰ ।

However, he does not get any results from his fields,

ਬਾਜ਼ ਗਰਦਦ ਗੁਰਜਨਾ ਖ਼ੁਆਰੋ ਨਜ਼ਾਰ ।੧੦।

And, returns disappointed hungry, thirsty and debilitated. (10)

ਗ਼ੈਰ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਮਾ ਬ-ਦਾਂ ਮਾਨਦ ।

Without Satguru, you should consider everything to be like as if

ਕਾਂ ਚੁਨਾਂ ਜ਼ਰਇ ਬਾਰ-ਵਰ ਦਾਨਦ ।੧੧।

The field is ripe and grown but full of weeds and thorns. (11)

ਪਹਿਲੀ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ ।

Pehlee Paatshaahee (Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji). The first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, was the one who glistened the true and all-powerful refulgence of the Almighty and to highlight the significance of knowledge of complete faith in Him. He was the one who elevated the flag of eternal spirituality and eliminated the darkness of ignorance of divine enlightenment and who took upon his own shoulders the responsibility of propagating the message of Akaalpurakh. Beginning from the earliest time to the present world, everyone considers himself to be the dust at his door; The highest-ranked, the Lord, Himself sings his praises; and his disciple-student is the divine lineage of Waaheguru Himself. Every fourth and sixth angel is unable to describe Guru's eclat in their expressions; and his radiance filled flag is flying over both the worlds. Examples of his command are the brilliant rays emanating from the Provident and when compared to him, millions of suns and moons get drowned in the oceans of darkness. His words, messages and orders are the supreme for the people of the world and his recommendations rank absolutely first in both the worlds. His true titles are the guide for both the worlds; and his true disposition is the compassion for the sinful. The gods in the court of Waaheguru consider it a privilege to kiss the dust of his lotus feet and the angles of the higher court are slaves and servitors of this mentor. Both the N's in his name depict nurturer, nourisher ans neighborly (boons, support and benefactions); the middle A represents the Akaalpurakh, and the last K represents the Ultimate great prophet. His mendicancy raises the bar of detachment from the worldly distractions to the highest level and his generosity and benevolence prevails all over both the worlds.

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀਓ ਸਤ ।

Waaheguru is the Truth,

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀਓ ਹਾਜ਼ਰ ਨਾਜ਼ਰ ਹੈ ।

Waaheguru is Omnipresent

ਨਾਮਿ ਊ ਸ਼ਾਹਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਹੱਕ ਕੇਸ਼ ।

His name is Nanak, the emperor and his religion is the truth,

ਕਿ ਨਿਆਇਦ ਚੁਨੂੰ ਦਿਗਰ ਦਰਵੇਸ਼ ।੧੩।

And that, there has not been another prophet like him who emanated in this world. (13)

ਫ਼ੁਕਰੇ ਊ ਫ਼ਕਰ ਰਾ ਸਰ-ਫ਼ਰਾਜ਼ੀ ।

His mendicancy (by precept and practice) lifts the head of saintly living to lofty heights,

ਪੇਸ਼ਿ ਊ ਕਾਰਿ ਜੁਮਲਾ ਜਾਨਬਾਜ਼ੀ ।੧੪।

And, in his view, everyone should be prepared to venture his life for the principles of truth and noble deeds. (14)

ਤਾਲਿਬੇ ਖ਼ਾਕਿ ਊ ਚਿਹ ਖ਼ਾਸੋ ਚਿਹ ਆਮ ।

Whether special person of high status or ordinary people, whether angels or

ਚਿਹ ਮਲਾਇਕ ਚਿਹ ਹਾਜ਼ਿਰਾਨਿ ਤਮਾਮ ।੧੫।

Whether onlookers of the heavenly court, all of them are desirous-petitioners of the dust of his lotus feet. (15)

ਹੱਕ ਚੂ ਖ਼ੁੱਦ ਵਾਸਿਫ਼ਸ਼ ਚਿਗੋਇਮ ਮਨ ।

When God Himself is showering praises on him, what can I add to that?

ਦਰ ਰਹਿ ਵਸਫ਼ਿ ਊ ਚਿ ਪੇਇਮ ਮਨ ।੧੬।

In fact, how should I travel on the path of approbations? (16)

ਸਦ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਮੁਰੀਦਸ਼ ਅਜ਼ ਮਲਕੂਤ ।

Millions from the world of souls, the angels, are his devotees,

ਸਦ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਮੁਰੀਦਸ਼ ਅਜ਼ ਨਾਸੂਤ ।੧੭।

And, millions of people from this world are also his disciples. (17)

ਹਮਾ ਜਬਰੂਤੀਆਂ ਫ਼ਿਦਾਇ ਊ ।

Gods of the metaphysical world are all willing to sacrifice themselves for him,

ਹਮਾ ਲਾਹੂਤੀਆਂ ਬਪਾਇ ਊ ।੧੮।

And, even all the angels of the spiritual world are also prepared to follow suit. (18)

ਹਮਾ ਨਾਸੂਤੀਆਂ ਮਲਾਇਕਿ ਊ ।

People of this world are all his creations as angels,

ਜਲਵਾ-ਅਸ਼ ਦਾਂ ਤਹਿਤੋ ਫ਼ੌਕਿ ਨਿਕੂ ।੧੯।

And, his glimpse is clearly manifested on the lips of everyone. (19)

ਜਾ-ਨਸ਼ੀਨਾਨਿ ਊ ਅਜ਼ ਊ ਲਾਇਕ ।

All his associates enjoying his company become knowledgeable (of spiritualism)

ਜ਼ਿਕਰਿ ਤੰਸੀਫ਼ਿ ਜ਼ਾਤ ਰਾ ਲਾਇਕ ।੨੦।

And, they begin to describe the glories of Waaheguru in their speeches. (20)

ਅਬਦ ਆਬਾਦ ਕਦਰੋ ਜਾਹੋ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਂ ।

Their honor and esteem, status and rank and name and imprints stay in this world forever;

ਬਰ ਅਫ਼ਰਾਜ਼ਦ ਜ਼ਿ ਯਕ ਦਿਗਰ ਸੁਬਹਾਂ ।੨੧।

And, the chaste Creator bestows upon them a higher rank than others. (21)

ਮੁਰਸ਼ਦੁਲ-ਆਲਮੀਂ ਸ਼ੁਦਸ਼ ਚੂ ਖ਼ਿਤਾਬ ।

When the prophet of both the world addressed

ਅਜ਼ ਅਨਾਯਾਤਿ ਹਜ਼ਰਤਿ ਵਹਾਬ ।੨੨।

Through his benefaction, the all-powerful Waaheguru, he said (22)

ਗੁਫ਼ਤ ਮਨ ਬੰਦਾ ਓ ਗੁਲਾਮਿ ਤੂ ਅਮ ।

Then he said, "I am Your servitor, and I am Your slave,

ਖ਼ਾਕਿ ਅਕਦਾਮਿ ਖ਼ਾਸੋ ਆਮਿ ਤੂ ਅਮ ।੨੩।

And, I am the dust of the feet of all of Your ordinary and special people." (23)

ਬਾਜ਼ ਚੂੰ ਹਮਚੂਨੀਂ ਖ਼ਿਤਾਬ ਆਮਦ ।

Thus when he addressed Him like this (in stark humility)

ਮਤਵਾਤਰ ਚੁਨੀਂ ਜਵਾਬ ਆਮਦ ।੨੪।

Then he got the same response again and again. (24)

ਕਿ ਮਨਮ ਦਰ ਤੂ ਗ਼ੈਰ ਤੂ ਕਸ ਨੀਸਤ ।

"That I, the Akaalpurkh, abide in you and I do not recognize anyone other than you,

ਹਰ ਚਿਹ ਖ਼ਾਹਮ ਕੁਨਮ ਹਮਾ ਅਦਲੀਸਤ ।੨੫।

Whatever I, the Waheeguru, desire, I do; and I do only the justice." (25)

ਰਾਹਿ ਜ਼ਿਕਰਮ ਬ ਆਲਮੇ ਬਿਨੁਮਾ ।

"You should show the meditation (of my Naam) to the entire world,

ਬ-ਹਮਾ ਸ਼ੋ ਜ਼ਿ ਵਸਫ਼ਿ ਮਨ ਗੋਯਾ ।੨੬।

And, make every one chaste and sacred through My (Akaalpurakh's) kudos." (26)

ਦਰ ਹਮਾ ਜਾ ਪਨਾਹੋ ਯਾਰਿ ਤੂ ਅਮ ।

"I am your friend and well wisher at all places and in all situations, and I am your refuge;

ਯਾਵਰੀ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ੋ ਖ਼ਾਸਤਗਾਰਿ ਤੂ ਅਮ ।੨੭।

I am there to support you, and I am your avid fan." (27)

ਹਰ ਕਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਤੂ ਬਰਤਰੀਂ ਦਾਨਦ ।

"Anyone who would try to elevate your name and make you famous,

ਅਜ਼ ਦਿਲੋ ਜਾਂ ਬ-ਵਸਫ਼ਿ ਮਨ ਖ਼ਾਨਦ ।੨੮।

He would, in fact, be approbating Me with his heart and soul." (28)

ਮਨ ਊ ਰਾ ਜ਼ਾਤਿ ਖ਼ੁਦ ਨੁਮਾਇਮ ਬਾਜ਼ ।

Then, kindly show me Your Limitless Entity,

ਐਹਦਿ ਮਨ ਸਖ਼ਤਗੀਰ ਬਰ ਕੁਨ ਸਾਜ਼ ।੨੯।

And, thus make my difficult resolves and situations eased up. (29)

ਗਿਰਦਿ ਆਲਮ ਬਰਆ ਵਾ ਹਾਦੀ ਸ਼ੌ ।

"You should come to this world and act like a guide and captain,

ਕਿ ਜਹਾਂ ਗ਼ੈਰਿ ਮਨ ਨਿਯਰਜ਼ਦ ਜੌ ।੩੦।

Because this world is not worth even a grain of barley without Me, the Akaalpurakh." (30)

ਦਰ ਹਕੀਕਤ ਮਨਮ ਚੂ ਰਾਹ-ਨੁਮਾ ।

"In reality, when I am your guide and steer,

ਤੂ ਜਹਾਂ ਰਾ ਬਪਾਇ ਖ਼ੁਦ ਪੈਮਾ ।੩੧।

Then, you should traverse the journey of this world with your own feet." (31)

ਹਰ ਕਿ ਰਾ ਖ਼ਾਹਮ ਵ ਸ਼ਵਮ ਹਾਦੀ ।

"Whomsoever I like and I show him the direction in this world,

ਅਜ਼ ਤੂ ਦਰ ਦਿਲ ਦਰ-ਆਰਮਸ਼ ਸਾਦੀ ।੩੨।

Then, for his sake, I bring elation and happiness in his heart." (32)

ਵਾਂ ਕਿ ਗੁਮਰਾਹ ਸਾਜ਼ਮਸ਼ ਜ਼ਿ ਗ਼ਜ਼ਬ ।

"Whomsoever I will misdirect and put him on a wrong track out of My indignation for him,

ਨ-ਰਸਦ ਅਜ਼ ਹਦਾਇਤਿ ਤੂ ਬ-ਰੱਬ ।੩੩।

He will not be able to reach Me, the Akaalpurakh, in spite of your advice and counsel." (33)

ਸ਼ੁਦਾ ਗੁਮਰਾਹ ਆਲਮੇ ਬੇਮਨ ।

This world is being misdirected and strayed without me,

ਸਾਹਿਰਾਂ ਗਸ਼ਤਾ ਅੰਦ ਜਾਦੂਇ ਮਨ ।੩੪।

My sorcery has become the sorcerer himself. (34)

ਮੁਰਦਗਾਂ ਰਾ ਕੁਨੰਦ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਾ ਹਮੀ ।

My charms and spells bring the dead back alive,

ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗਾਂ ਰਾ ਬਜਾਂ ਕੁਸ਼ੰਦਾ ਹਮੀ ।੩੫।

And, those who are living (in sin) kill them. (35)

ਆਤਿਸ਼ੇ ਰਾ ਕੁਨੰਦ ਆਬ ਵਸ਼ ।

My charms transform the 'fire' into ordinary water,

ਬਰ ਸਰੇ ਆਬ ਜ਼ਨੰਦ ਆਤਿਸ਼ ।੩੬।

And, with the ordinary water, they extinguish and cool off the fires. (36)

ਹਰ ਚਿਹ ਖ਼ਾਹੰਦ ਮੀ-ਕੁਨੰਦ ਹਮਾਂ ।

My charms do whatever they like;

ਜੁਮਲਾ ਜਾਦੂ ਫ਼ਨ ਅੰਦ ਬਰ ਸਾਮਾਂ ।੩੭।

And, they mystify with their spell all material and non-material things. (37)

ਰਾਹਿ ਸ਼ਾਂ ਰਾ ਨੁਮਾ ਬ-ਸੂਇ ਮਨ ।

Please divert their path in my direction,

ਕਿ ਪਜ਼ੀਰੰਦ ਗੁਫ਼ਤਗੂਇ ਮਨ ।੩੮।

So that they can adopt and acquisition my words and message. (38)

ਗ਼ੈਰ ਜ਼ਿਕਰਮ ਬ-ਜਾਦੁਏ ਨ-ਰਵੰਦ ।

They do not go for any spells except My meditation,

ਜੁਜ਼ ਦਰਿ ਮਨ ਬਜਾਨਬੇ ਨ-ਰਵੰਦ ।੩੯।

And, they do not move in any direction other than towards My door. (39)

ਕਿ ਜ਼ਿ ਦੋਜ਼ਖ਼ ਸ਼ਵੰਦ ਰੁਸਤਾ ਹਮੇ ।

Because they have been spared of the Hades,

ਵਰਨਾ ਉਫ਼ਤੰਦ ਦਸਤ-ਬਸਤਾ ਹਮੇ ।੪੦।

Otherwise, they would fall with their hands tied down. (40)

ਕਾਫ਼ ਤਾ ਕਾਫ਼ ਆਲਮੇ ਜੁਮਲਾ ।

This whole world, from one end to the other,

ਦਾਅਵਤ ਆਮੋਜ਼ੋ ਜ਼ਾਲਮੇ ਜੁਮਲਾ ।੪੧।

Is relaying the message that this world is cruel and corrupt. (41)

ਰੰਜੋ ਫ਼ਰਹਤ ਜ਼ਿ ਮਨ ਨ ਮੀ-ਦਾਨੰਦ ।

They do not realize any grief or happiness because of me,

ਹਮਾ ਅਜ਼ ਗ਼ੈਰਿ ਮਨ ਪਰੇਸ਼ਾਨੰਦ ।੪੨।

Then they pen down their good and not-so-good fortunes in their horoscopes,

And say, sometimes before and other times afterwards, as: (44)

ਨੀਸਤ ਸ਼ਾਂ ਰਾ ਬ-ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਇਸਤਿਕਲਾਲ ।

They are not firm and consistent in their meditation chores,

ਕਾਲ ਦਾਨੰਦ ਜੁਮਲਗਾਂ ਬੇ-ਹਾਲ ।੪੫।

And, they talk and project themselves like confused and perplexed persons. (45)

ਰੂ ਨੁਮਾ ਜੁਮਲਾ ਰਾ ਸੂਇ ਫ਼ਿਕਰਮ ।

Divert their attention and face towards My meditation

ਕਿ ਨਦਾਰੰਦ ਦੋਸਤ ਜੁਜ਼ ਜ਼ਿਕਰਮ ।੪੬।

So that I could set their worldly tasks on the right path,

ਖ਼ਾਤਰਿ ਸ਼ਾਂ ਜ਼ਿ ਨੂਰ ਬਿਤਰਾਜ਼ਮ ।੪੭।

ਮਨ ਤੁਰਾ ਆਫ਼ਰੀਦਮ ਅਜ਼ ਪਏ ਆਂ ।

ਮਨ ਕੁਜਾ ਵ ਚੁਨੀਂ ਕਮਾਲ ਕੁਜਾ ।

The Guru said, "I am no where near such a miracle,

ਮਨ ਕਿਹ ਵ ਫ਼ੱਰੇ ਜ਼ੁਲਜਲਾਲ ਕੁਜਾ ।੫੧।

I am lowly without any virtues compared to the grandiose and exquisiteness of the form of Akaalpurakh." (51)

ਲੇਕ ਹੁਕਮਤ ਕਸ਼ਮ ਬਜਾਨੇ ਬਦਿਲ ।

"However, Your command is entirely acceptable to my heart and soul,

ਨਸ਼ਵਮ ਯੱਕ ਜ਼ਮਾਂ ਅਜ਼ੋ ਗ਼ਾਫ਼ਿਲ ।੫੨।
