The Beloved Lord Himself is the firewood, and He Himself keeps the fire within the wood.

The Beloved Lord Himself, all by Himself, permeates them, and because of the Fear of God, the fire cannot burn the wood.

The Beloved Himself kills and revives; all draw the breath of life, given by Him. ||3||

As the Beloved makes me walk, I walk, as it pleases my Lord God.

The Beloved Himself grants His Grace and protects us; He Himself is wise and all-knowing. ||1||

O my mind, chant the Name of the Lord, and receive His Insignia.

Join the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, and meditate on the Lord, Har, Har; you shall not have to come and go in reincarnation again. ||Pause||

The Beloved Himself pervades His Glorious Praises, and He Himself approves them.

The Beloved Himself is absorbed in Samaadhi; He Himself is the treasure of excellence. ||3||

The Beloved Himself is the greatest; He Himself is supreme.

The Beloved Himself appraises the value; He Himself is the scale, and the weights.

The Beloved Himself causes us to sing His Glorious Praises; He Himself is absorbed in the Word of His Shabad.

He Himself is the pen, and He Himself is the scribe; He Himself inscribes His inscription. ||1||

O my mind, joyfully chant the Name of the Lord.

Those very fortunate ones are in ecstasy night and day; through the Perfect Guru, they obtain the profit of the Lord's Name. ||Pause||

The Beloved Himself is the milk-maid and Krishna; He Himself herds the cows in the woods.

The Beloved Himself is the blue-skinned, handsome one; He Himself plays on His flute.

The Beloved Himself took the form of a child, and destroyed Kuwalia-peer, the mad elephant. ||2||

The Beloved Himself sets the stage; He performs the plays, and He Himself watches them.
