Jagat jot japai nisbasar, Inspired by devocation, And awake to His light Singing perpetually,

The name of the Lord ;

Absorbed in His splendour.

Absorbed in his life ; Even in error

Never believing

In fasts and tombs Temples and idols,

Or anything but

The devotion to the One: Caring not even for,

Compassion or charity

If God’s thought be not in them ; Caring not for penances,

Not for bathings

In the holy places,

Nor for the yogis self macerations: Such a child of Light

Such a paragon

Such a complete Man

Fully enlightened

Jn heart and soul,

To be the pure, the Khalsa

Is worthily deemed.
