ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥
manmukh antar bhagat na ho-ee.

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਈ ॥
gurmukh bhagat saaNt sukh ho-ee.
Through devotional worship, the Gurmukh obtains peace and tranquility.
ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਪਾਵਨ ਸਦਾ ਹੈ ਬਾਣੀ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਅੰਤਰੁ ਭੀਜੈ ਹੇ ॥੧੨॥
pavitar paavan sadaa hai banee gurmat antar bheejai hay. ||12||
Forever pure and sanctified is the Word of the Guru's Bani; following the Guru's Teachings, one's inner being is drenched in it. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A heart turned only outward has not yet found its song of love.
Through loving devotion, the one who follows the Guru finds deep peace.
Forever pure are the sacred words; follow them, and your whole inside is drenched in them.
Devotion is a rain that drenches you all the way through.
Bhakti, loving devotion, is the missing song for a heart turned only outward. The pure Bani, followed, drenches a person through and through.
