Bhand jammee-ai
bhand nimmee-ai
bhand mangan vee-aaho.
Bhanda-ho hovai dos-tee
bhanda-hu cha-lai raahu.
Bhand mu-aa bhand bhaalee-ai
bhand hovai ban- dhaan.
So ki-o man-daa aakhee-ai jit ja-meh raa jaan.
Bhanda- ho hee bhand oop-jai, bhandai baajh na ko-ay.
Naanak bhandai baa-hraa ayko sachaa so-ay.
Naanak bhandai baa-hraa ayko sachaa so-ay.
Jit mukh sadaa salaa hee-ai bhaagaa ratee chaar.
Nanak tay mukh ooj – lay tit sa-chay dar-baar.
(English Translation, adapted by Bachan Kaur)
From woman, all humans are born;
within woman, we are conceived;
to woman one becomes engaged and married.
Woman becomes a friend;
through woman, future generations are born.
When woman dies, one seeks another woman, to woman we are bound.
So why do we call her bad?
From her, all great ones are born?
From woman, even woman is born;
without woman, there would be no one at all.
O Nanak, only the infinite is without a woman.
Blessed and beautiful is the mouth that continually praises the Source of all.
O Nanak, those faces shall be radiant in the Court of the Divine.

Pavan guru paanee pitaa
Maataa dharat mahat
Divas raat du-i daa-ee dayaa
Khaylai sakal jagat
Wind is the teacher, Water is the father,
and Earth is the great mother.
Day and night are the two kind nurturers,
and (the world) plays under them..
Changi-aaiaa Buri-aaiaa
Vaachayi dharam hadoor
Karmee aapo aapanee kay neday kay door
The record of good and bad deeds is read out
In presence of the Lord of Dharma.
According to their own deeds, some draw closer, some are driven away.
Jinee naam dhiaaiyaa
Gey masakat ghaal
Nanak tay mukh ujalay
Kaytee chhootee naal
Those who have meditated on the Name of the Lord,
And departed after having worked by the sweat of their brow,
O Nanak, their faces are radiant (when in God's court)
And many others are saved along with them.
