Those who are (ratey = imbued) conform (sabad-i = with the word) with teachings of the guru, (sey) they are (nirmaley = un-stained) free of ego; they (challah-i = walk) conduct themselves (bhaaey) will/directions of the guru – to conform to Naam. 7.

 

ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦਾਤਾ ਏਕੁ ਤੂੰ ਤੂੰ ਆਪੇ ਬਖਸਿ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥ ਜਨੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਸਰਣਾਗਤੀ ਜਿਉ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਵੈ ਛਡਾਇ ॥੮॥੧॥੯॥

O (har-i) Almighty (prabh) Master, (too) you (eyk-u) alone are (daata = giver) benevolent; (too) you (aapey) yourself alone (bakhas-i) can bestow grace to (milaaey) unite with yourself, – the source of solace.

(Jan-u) humble third Nanak, the seeker, is in your (sarnaagti) care and obedience, please (chhaddaaey) deliver me from lures of life and (kee) (tivai) that way (jiau) as you would (bhaavai) like me to be. 8. 1. 9.
