Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 184
Gur ton bemukh hove jehrha ethe othe dhoi na;
Gur ton bemukh hove jehrha izzat te pat koi na.
Gur ton bemukh hove jehrha jamda marda rehanda ey;
Gur ton bemukh hove jehrha har dam dukhrhe sehanda ey.
Gur ton bemukh hove jehrha Maya vich galtaan fire;
Gur ton bemukh hove jehrha banya oh shaitan fire.
Gur ton bemukh hona loko is ton vadda paap nahin;
Jekar satgur de ho rahiye rog sog santaap nahin.
Lakh churasi kar ke vi oh bemukh hunda maaf nahin.
Avatar guru di sharan laye bin lekha hunda saaf nahin.
