Some sing that He watches over us, face to face, ever-present. Some sing that He seems so very far away. Some sing that He takes life away, and then again restores it. Some sing that He fashions the body, and then again reduces it to dust. Some sing of knowledge obtained of Him, through difficult philosophical studies.

Some sing of His Glorious Virtues, Greatness and Beauty. Some sing of His Gifts, and know His Sign and Insignia. Some sing of His Power-who has that Power? O Nanak, one who understands His Command, does not speak in ego. Naanak hukmai jay bujhai ta ha-umai kahai na ko-ay. Hukmai andar sabh ko baahar hukam na ko-ay.Įveryone is subject to His Command no one is beyond His Command. Some, by His Command, are blessed and forgiven others, by His Command, wander aimlessly forever. Iknaa hukmee bakhsees ik hukmee sadaa bhavaa-ee-ah. Hukmee utam neech hukam likh dukh sukh paa-ee-ah.īy His Command, some are high and some are low by His Written Command, pain and pleasure are obtained. Hukmee hovan jee-a hukam milai vadi-aa-ee.īy His Command, souls come into being by His Command, glory and greatness are obtained. Hukmee hovan aakaar hukam na kahi-aa jaa-ee.īy His Command, bodies are created His Command cannot be described. O Nanak, it is written that you shall obey the Hukam of His Command, and walk in the Way of His Will. Hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal. So how can you become truthful? And how can the veil of illusion be torn away? Kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal. Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but not even one of them will go along with you in the end. Sahas si-aanpaa lakh hohi ta ik na chalai naal. The hunger of the hungry is not appeased, even by piling up loads of worldly goods.

Sochai soch na hova-ee jay sochee lakh vaar.īy thinking, He cannot be reduced to thought, even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times.Ĭhupai chup na hova-ee jay laa-ay rahaa liv taar.īy remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained, even by remaining lovingly absorbed deep within.īhukhi-aa bhukh na utree jay bannaa puree-aa bhaar. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. Ik-oNkaar sat naam kartaa purakh nirbha-o nirvair akaal moorat ajoonee saibhaN gur parsaad.
