If the mind is imbued with the love of divine words of God’s praises, then the color of this love never fades. ||1||Pause||

ਹਮ ਨੀਚ ਮੈਲੇ ਅਤਿ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੀ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਵਿਕਾਰ ॥
ham neech mailay at abhimaanee doojai bhaa-ay vikaar.
Engrossed in vices and the love of worldly riches, we are evil minded and extremely egotistical persons of low character.
Tukivama katika maovu na upendo wa utajiri wa kidunia, sisi tuna nia mbaya na watu wenye ubinafsi uliokithiri wa silika mbaya.
ਗੁਰਿ ਪਾਰਸਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਕੰਚਨੁ ਹੋਏ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਜੋਤਿ ਅਪਾਰ ॥੨॥
gur paaras mili-ai kanchan ho-ay nirmal jot apaar. ||2||
But upon meeting and following the Guru’s teachings, we become pure like gold, and the immaculate light of the infinite God illuminates our mind. ||2||
Lakini baada ya kukutana na kufuata mafundisho ya Guru, tunakuwa safi kama dhahabu na mwanga safi wa Mungu asiye na mwisho unaangaza akili yetu.
ਬਿਨੁ ਗੁਰ ਕੋਇ ਨ ਰੰਗੀਐ ਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਰੰਗੁ ਚੜਾਉ ॥

Without following the Guru’s teachings no onecan be imbued with Naam; yes one gets imbued with the Naam only upon meeting the Guru.
Bila kufuata mafundisho ya Guru hakuna mtu anaweza kuwa na Naam; ndio mtu anapata Naam baada ya kukutana na Guru pekee.

gur kai bhai bhaa-ay jo ratay siftee sach samaa-o. ||3||
Those who are imbued with the love of the Guru through his revered fear, they merge into God by singing His praises. ||3||
Wale ambao wamepenyezwa na upendo wa Guru kupitia uoga kwa heshima yake, wanaungana na Mungu kwa kuimba sifa zake.
ਭੈ ਬਿਨੁ ਲਾਗਿ ਨ ਲਗਈ ਨਾ ਮਨੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥
bhai bin laag na lag-ee naa man nirmal ho-ay.
Without the revered fear of God, the mind is not imbued with God’s love and without it the mind does not become immaculate.
Bila uoga kwa heshima ya Mungu, akili haipenyezwi na upendo wa Mungu na bila huo akili haikuwi safi.
ਬਿਨੁ ਭੈ ਕਰਮ ਕਮਾਵਣੇ ਝੂਠੇ ਠਾਉ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥੪॥
bin bhai karam kamaavnay jhoothay thaa-o na ko-ay. ||4||
By performing ritualistic acts without fear of God, one still remains false (sinful), and finds no place in God’s presence. ||4||
Kwa kufanya vitendo vya kimila bila hofu ya Mungu, mtu bado anabaki wa uongo (mwenye dhambi) na hapati nafasi katika uwepo wa Mungu.
ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਪੇ ਰੰਗੇ ਸੁ ਰਪਸੀ ਸਤਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥
jis no aapay rangay so rapsee satsangat milaa-ay.
That person alone would be imbued in God’s love whom God Himself imbues by uniting him with the holy congregation.

ਬਿਨੁ ਸੰਗਤੀ ਸਭਿ ਐਸੇ ਰਹਹਿ ਜੈਸੇ ਪਸੁ ਢੋਰ ॥

Without the holy congregation, people remain like beasts and animals.
Bila ushirika mtakatifu, watu wanasalia kama hayawani na wanyama.
ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਕੀਤੇ ਤਿਸੈ ਨ ਜਾਣਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੀ ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਸਭਿ ਚੋਰ ॥੬॥
jiniH keetay tisai na jaananHee bin naavai sabh chor. ||6||
They do not realize the One who created them; so without Naam they all are like thieves. ||6||
Hawagundui yule Mmoja anayewaumba; basi bila Naam wao ni kama wezi.
