ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਸੋਈ ਵਡ ਰਾਜਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਪੂਰੇ ਕਾਜਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਤਿਨਿ ਕੋਟਿ ਧਨ ਪਾਏ ॥ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਾਏ ॥੧॥

Jis nām riḏai so▫ī vad rājā.  Jis nām riḏai ṯis pūre kājā.  Jis nām riḏai ṯin kot ḏẖan pā▫e.  Nām binā janam birthā jā▫e. ||1||

ਤਿਸੁ ਸਾਲਾਹੀ ਜਿਸੁ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਰਾਸਿ ॥ ਸੋ ਵਡਭਾਗੀ ਜਿਸੁ ਗੁਰ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਹਾਥੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

(So) that person on (jis) whose (mastak-i) forehead (gur) the guru places his (haath-u) hand, i.e. blesses with guidance, is (vaddbhaagi) very fortunate. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell and contemplate on this.

ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਸੋ ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਲਾਹਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਵਡ ਪਰਵਾਰਾ ॥ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਗਾਵਾਰਾ ॥੪॥

Jis nām riḏai ṯis nihcẖal āsan.  Jis nām riḏai ṯis ṯakẖaṯ nivāsan. Jis nām riḏai so sācẖā sāhu.  Nāmhīṇ nāhī paṯ vesāhu. ||5||

ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿ ਪਹਾਰਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਿਟਿਆ ਅੰਧਾਰਾ ॥ ਜਿਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਿਦੈ ਸੋ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ॥ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਫਿਰਿ ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣੁ ॥੭॥

ਤਿਨਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਿਸੁ ਭਇਓ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲ ॥ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਮਹਿ ਲਖੇ ਗਪਾਲ ॥ ਆਵਣ ਜਾਣ ਰਹੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਤੈ ਤਤੁ ਮਿਲਾਇਆ ॥੮॥੧॥੪॥

One then keeps away from vices and (paaiaa) experiences (sukh-u) peace/comfort through union with the Creator and (aavan = comings) births and (jaan = goings) deaths (rahey) are obviated; his/her (tat-u = essence – of the body) the soul (milaaiaa) is united (tatai = with essence) with the Supreme Spirit, i.e. God, says fifth Nanak. 8. 1. 4.

One in whose destiny (prabhoo) the Almighty has (likihiaa) written (leykh-u = writing) to be blessed (dhur-i) at the source – based on deeds – (achint) to live by Naam, (eyk-u) the One (prabh-u) Almighty (tthaakur-u) Master (milio = is met) is found by her (achint) naturally with practice of Naam. (Sagli) all my (chinta) anxiety (gaee) left (achinta) with practice of Naam – for I have achieved my objective; Nanak is the devotee of (prabh) the Almighty and Nanak’s God (nanak maee) likes Nanak, i.e. the Almighty loves those who live by Naam. 8. 3. 6.
