ਤੂ ਅਭੁਲੁ ਨ ਭੂਲੌ ਕਦੇ ਨਾਹਿ ॥
too abhul na bhoolou kaday naahi.
You are infallible; You never make mistakes.
ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਣਾਏ ਮਤਿ ਅਗਾਹਿ ॥
gur sabad sunaa-ay mat agaahi.
Those who listen to the Word of the Guru's Shabad - their intellects become deep and profound.
ਤੂ ਮੋਟਉ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਸਬਦ ਮਾਹਿ ॥
too mota-o thaakur sabad maahi.
You, O my Great Lord and Master, are contained in the Shabad.
ਮਨੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਾਨਿਆ ਸਚੁ ਸਲਾਹਿ ॥੮॥੨॥
man naanak maani-aa sach salaahi. ||8||2||
O Nanak, my mind is pleased, praising the True Lord. ||8||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You never slip; You never lose the way, not once.
Those who listen to the Guru's Word grow deep in understanding.
You, my Great Master, live inside the Word.
Nanak says: my mind is at peace, praising the True One.
Listen deeply and understanding grows deep; the heart comes to rest.
The One never slips, and a mind that listens to the Word grows deep and comes to rest.
Too abhul na bhoolou: You never make a mistake; only the human mind wanders. Gur sabad sunaae mat agaahi: listening to the Word makes understanding deep. Nanak closes with the mind at peace, praising sach, the Truth.
