Chakar han main us malak da jehrha sabh kujh jaan riha ey;
Dharti ambar aal duale jehrha chadar taan riha ey.
Jehrha karta sare jag da apne jan naal vasda ey;
Koi door vi vekh na sakke kise nun nerhe dasda ey.
Ganga jal ton paak ey jehrha bari tarike chalan ton;
Janun jehrha jaan hai chukka uchcha sab khyalan ton.
Aise jan de charan pakarh lai jo ehde man bha chukka ey;
Naal milaye kewal oho jehrha aap sama chukka ey.
Rang wich oho rang sakda ey jo is de rang rata ey;
Avtar guru rab janan wala sare jag da data ey.

I am the servant of the Supreme Sovereign who knows everything;
Who is enveloping the earth and the sky with His divine canopy.
God, the Creator of the whole universe is ever present with His devotee;
Some cannot perceive Him even at a distance, while to others He reveals Himself the nearest.
God is purer than the water of the Ganges and is beyond all ritulas;
The person who has known Him surpasses all the intellectual flights.
O’ man, cling to the feet of the one who is held dear by God;
Only he can unite others with God who himself is immersed in Him.
Only he can impart the divine colour, who himself is hued in His colour;
Avtar says, the True Master has known God and is the benevolent Lord of the whole world.

Meaning
I am the slave to the one, who is the Omniscient Master of the Universe; the one who can be seen on the earth, in the sky and all four directions; the one who is the creator of the world, and is present in every creation of His. Some cannot see Him even at a long distance, for some He is the closest; purer than the river Ganga, He is beyond the chains of rituals and all malice. The one who has known Him is the Learned, and His thought is above all thoughts. Bow down to the feet of that person who is devoted to the One.
Only that person will be able to connect you. Only he who is himself hued by the Divine color can color others. Avtar says that the Lord Master, who knows the Almighty God, is the owner of the world.
