The Messenger of Death cannot touch Your devotees; death cannot even approach them.
केवल राम नामु मनि वसिआ नामे ही मुकति पाई ॥

They come and go, and find no place of rest; in pain and suffering, they perish.
गुरमुखि होवै सु अम्रितु पीवै सहजे साचि समाई ॥६॥

Those whose minds are filled with the Lord are judged as true in the Court of the Lord; they are hailed as true in the True Court.
ओना दी सोभा जुगि जुगि होई कोइ न मेटणहारा ॥
Their praises echo throughout the ages, and no one can erase them.

रंगि न राता रसि नही बेधिआ मनमुखि पति गवाई ॥२॥

When the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, then I see Him with my own eyes; He is indescribable, and cannot be described.
कंनी सुणि सुणि सबदि सलाही अम्रितु रिदै वसाई ॥
With my ears, I continually listen to the Word of the Shabad, and I praise Him; His Ambrosial Name abides within my heart.
निरभउ निरंकारु निरवैरु पूरन जोति समाई ॥
He is Fearless, Formless and absolutely without vengeance; I am absorbed in His Perfect Light.
नानक गुर विणु भरमु न भागै सचि नामि वडिआई ॥४॥३॥
