jaañ madar tāresā koī mamtā dī mūrat dise.

jaañ kite subbalakashmī sākār para.upkār hai.

jaañ kite bahuguna nuuñ bass lok-hit darkār hai.

eDā nirbal sachch pahilāñ nahīñ sī hoi.ā kade

Thīk, nirbal sachch hai, par eDā nirbal vī nahīñ

Thīk, lissī hai muhabbat, eDī lissī vī nahīñ—

Dūnghī.āñ baḌī.āñ jaḌhāñ, buni.ād hai pakkī baḌii.

kuuḌ dī koī niiñh nahīñ, jaḌhhīN ik vistār hai—

sachch dī.āñ akkhāñ 'cha akkhāñ pā ke takk sakdā nahīñ.

nikke nikke sachch takkāñ sarakde ik duuje val

bemlūsī.āñ kirnāñ juḌ juḌ baNnā hai sūraj kade.

muḌ kise gobind, nānak, buddh dā hoNā janam

muḌ koī iisā ġharībāñ ḳhātar suulī chaḌhegā.
