Holy Avtar Vani - Shabad No. 5

|
Main banda han bande varga, hasti nahin koi vakhkh mili.
Satgur bakhshi gian salaee, vekhan vali akhkh mili.
Jo kujh bolan mehr guru di, is de lekh ulekh rihan.
Apne gur di bakhshish sadka, Nirankar noon vekh rihan.
Main hoia haan jad ton ihda, hoia ey Nirankar mera.
Iho vartan iho vandan, iho kar vihar mera.
Ih Nirankar aa man vich mere, gur kirpa nal vass giyai.
Piar preetam be-range da, loon loon mere dhass giyai.
Main turda han ose rah te, jihde rah is pa ditai.
Kahe Avtar oh kar kamanan, jihde kamm is la ditai.

I am a human being like any other human being and I have received no different entity;
The True Master has bestowed the divine knowledge and blessed me with the vision to behold God.
All that I speak is the True Master’s grace and all that I write is an expression of his grace;
It is with the grace of my True Master that I am perceiving the Formless One- Nirankar.
Ever since I surrendered to him, Nirankar has become my own;
And this is what I deal and dispense, this is my sole occupation.
This Nirankar has come to dwell in my mind with the kind grace of the True Master;
The love of this Colourless One-my beloved, has permeated every pore of mine.
I tread the path as shown to me by the True Master;
Avtar says, I do whatever has been ordained by the True Master.

Meaning
I am an ordinary human being with no special identity. My true Lord Master blessed me with the lead of God-Knowledge and a vision to see almighty God. Whatever I say or write is the grace of my True Master. It is with the grace of my true master only that I am observing this Formless one. Ever since I surrendered myself unto him, the Formless One has become mine. Now, I practice and share this Nirankar who has become the only pursuit of my soul. This formless one now dwells in my heart with the grace of my True Master. Love of this Beloved who is without any color permeates my whole being. I walk on the path shown by the True master. Avtar says, I do whatever is ordained by the True Master.
