One Universal Creator God. Truth Is The Name. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying. Beyond Birth. Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace:

Raag Bilaaval, First Mehl, Chau-Padas, First House:

You are the Emperor, and I call You a chief -

how does this add to Your greatness?

As You permit me, I praise You, O Lord and Master;

I am ignorant, and I cannot chant Your Praises. ||1||

Please bless me with such understanding,

that I may sing Your Glorious Praises.

May I dwell in Truth, according to Your Will. ||1||Pause||

Whatever has happened, has all come from You.

You are All-knowing.

Your limits cannot be known, O my Lord and Master;

I am blind - what wisdom do I have? ||2||

What should I say? While talking, I talk of seeing,

but I cannot describe the indescribable.

As it pleases Your Will, I speak; it is just the tiniest bit

of Your greatness. ||3||

Among so many dogs, I am an outcast;

I bark for my body's belly.

Without devotional worship, O Nanak, even so,

still, my Master's Name does not leave me. ||4||1||
