ha-o dhaadee vaykaar kaarai laaiaa
Raat dihain kai vaar dharahu faramaya
dhaadhee sachai mahal khasam bulaaiaa
Sachee sift salaah kaprrha paya
sacha amrit naam bhojan aaiaa
Gurmatee khada raj tin sukh paya
Dhaadhee kare pasaa-o sabad vajaaiaa
Naanak sach saalaahi poora paaiaa

English Translation
It was a minstrel, out of work, when the Lord took me into His service. To sing His praises day and night, He gave me His Order, right from the start. My Lord and Master has summoned me, His minstrel, to the True Mansion of His Presence. He has dressed me in the robes of His True Praise and Glory. The Ambrosial Nectar of the True Name has become my food. Those who follow the Guru's teachings, who eat this food and are satisfied, find peace. His minstrel spreads His Glory, singing and vibrating the Word of His Shabad. O Nanak, praising the True Lord, I have obtained His Perfection.
