1 If I make of my mind a temple,
and of my body a hermit’s robe,
if I bathe in the fount of myself,If the One Word dwells in my breath,
I will not return to the circle of life.
Mother, my mind is pierced
with love for the Compassionate One.But who can know another’s pain?
The Divine is my only concern.
2 You who are unfathomable, unknowable,
ineffable, infinite, do watch over us.You pervade the waters and the lands and the air above,
Your Light shines in each and every heart.
3 All teaching, all wisdom, all enlightenment is Yours,
all temples and shelters are Yours.My Sovereign, I know no one else but You,
and I sing your glory forever.
4 All creatures seek refuge in Your lap,
responsibility for all rests with You.Whatever pleases You is good,
This is all Nanak has to say.
