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.
