Gurmukh deeyan nazran andar sona mitti ik samaan;
Gurmukh de lai ikko jahe ne dhanheen ate dhanwaan.
Gurmukh de lai ikko jahe ne harakh sog te maan apmaan;
Gurmukh de lai ikko jahe ne dukhan sukhan de bhugtaan;
Gurmukh de lai ikko jahe ne dukhan sukhan de bhugtaan.
Gurmukh de lai ikko jahe ne kul duniyan de sab insaan;
Gurmukh de lai ikko jahe ne raja hove jan darbaan.
Apne gur de charnan da hi gurmukh rakhdai sada dhyan;
Gurmukh pal pal munhon aakhe jo kujh hai tera bhagwan.
Gurmukh de jo darshan kar laye usda hunda ey kalyaan;
Avtar eho jahe gurmukkhan ton jind jaan kare kurbaan.
