Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 41

Sant ne oho naam de bajhon jinhan noon koi kam nahin;
Sant ne oho jo har bajhon jee sakde ik dam nahin.
Din te ratin sant hamesha sifat hari di gande ne;
Naam da daru pee pee sadhu sare rog ganwande ne.
Naan hi rab da rab wale lai ikko ik sahara ey;
Uthde bahnde khande peende naam guru da pyara ey.
Sant hari de duniyan de vich sabh ton change rehnde ne;
Avtar guru di sharnin aa shubh karde ne shubh kehande ne.

They are the saints who have nothing else to do except practising the Divine Name;
They are the saints who cannot live even for a moment without remembering God.
The saints constantly sing the praise of God day and night;
The saints drink the nectar of Divine Name and get rid of all their ailments.
The Divine Name is the only succour and support for a God-realized person;
To him the Divine Name from the True Master is dear while sitting, standing, eating and drinking.
The saints of God live in the world better than all others;
Avtar says, after taking the shelter of the True Master, they do good unto others. They speak good words.
