ਜੋ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਪੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਸੁ ਭਲਾ ਨਾਹੀ ਪੰਚਹੁ ਓਨਿ ਲਾਹਾ ਮੂਲੁ ਸਭੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥
jo gur gopay apnaa so bhala naahee panchahu on laahaa mool sabh gavaa-i-aa.
O’ saints, the one who slanders his Guru is not a good person. He loses the wealth of Naam that he was supposed to earn in this precious human life.
Ee Watakatifu, wale yule mwenye kuchochea Guru wake sio mtu mwema. Anapoteza utajiri wa Naam ambao alipaswa kupata katika maisha ya kibinadam.

pahilaa aagam nigam nanak aakh sunaa-ay pooray gur kaa bachan upar aa-i-aa.
Nanak proclaims that even according to the primary principle of shastras and vedas, the perfect Guru’s word is the most exalted for his disciples.
Nanak anatangaza kuwa hata kwa msingi mkuu wa Shastras na vedas, neno kamili la Guru ndilo kusifiwa sana na wafuasi wake.
ਗੁਰਸਿਖਾ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਭਾਵੈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਕੀ ਮਨਮੁਖਾ ਓਹ ਵੇਲਾ ਹਥਿ ਨ ਆਇਆ ॥੨॥
gursikhaa vadi-aa-ee bhaavai gur pooray kee manmukhaa oh vaylaa hath na aa-i-aa. ||2||
The glory of the perfect Guru is very pleasing to his disciples, but the self-willeddo not get this opportunity to praise the Guru.||2||
Utukufu wa Guru kamili ni wa kupendeza kwa wafuasi wake, lakini wale wabinafsi, hapati fursahii ya kumwabudu Guru.
