ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥
ik-oNkaar sat naam kartaa purakh nirbha-o nirvair akaal moorat ajoonee saibhaN gur parsaad.
There is only one God whose Name is ‘of eternal existence’. He is the creator of the universe, all-pervading, without fear, without enmity, independent of time, beyond the cycle of birth and death and self revealed. He is realized by the Guru’s grace.
Kuna Mungu Mmoja peke yake ambaye Jina lake ni ‘wa kuwepo milele’. Yeye ndiye Muumba wa ulimwengu, anayeenea kote, bila woga, bila chuki, huru kutoka nyakati, amezidi mzunguko wa kuzaliwa na kufa na anajidhihirisha mwenyewe. Yeye anagunduliwa kwa neema ya Guru.
