ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਹੈ ਗਿਆਨੁ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਹੈ ਪੂਜਾ ॥
satgur hai gi-aan satgur hai poojaa.
The True Guru is spiritual wisdom; the True Guru is worship and adoration.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵੀ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਦੂਜਾ ॥
satgur sayvee avar na doojaa.
I serve the True Guru, and no other.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਤਨ ਧਨੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਭਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੩॥
satgur tay naam ratan Dhan paa-i-aa satgur kee sayvaa bhaa-ee hay. ||3||
From the True Guru, I have obtained the wealth, the jewel of the Naam. Service to the True Guru is pleasing to me. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The True Guru is wisdom, and the True Guru is worship. I serve the True Guru and no other.
From the True Guru I found the treasure, the jewel of the Naam. Serving the True Guru makes me glad.
The Guru is wisdom, worship, and the jewel of the Naam all at once.
The satgur is gi-aan (wisdom) and poojaa (worship) at once — both what you learn and what you revere. Naam ratan Dhan is the jewel-wealth of the Naam. Service here means living the teaching, and it is bhaa-ee — pleasing, a joy to give.
