== English Translation ==
'''Speech of Sri Guru Jee'''<br />
 
'''Chaupeyi'''<br />
Sikhs of the Guru, listen, My Companions,<br />
Getting up early in the morning, conceive God in the mind.(1)<br />
Then recite the incantation of Waheguru, the Supreme Being,<br />
And after ablution, read and recount Jap Jaap.(2)<br />
Then come and have the Darshan (glimpse) of mine,<br />
And sit there reverentially with profound attention to the Guru.(3)<br />
When the three watches of the day have gone past,<br />
Listen to the exposition by of the Guru with complete attention.(4)<br />
In the evening listen to the Rehras,<br />
And pay attention to the Kirtan (singing of Hymns) and Katha(Sermons).(5)<br />
One who practices such a way,<br />
Will attain the eternal bliss.(6)<br />
The Sikh who revels in five routines,<br />
He secures the emancipation for his twenty-one generations.(7)<br />
Not only he achieves family’s emancipation, but also eternal bliss.<br />
He saves his soul from transmigration.(8)<br />
'''Speech of Bhai Nand Lal'''<br />
'''Dohira'''<br />
What you have stated, Oh My Gurdev Master, ‘come to seek my vision,’<br />
Please enable me to understand, how we can pursue the same.(9)<br />
'''Speech of Sri Guru Jee'''<br />
'''Dohira'''<br />
Assiduously listen Nand, there are three entities of mine,<br />
And these, you comprehend, are Transcendental, Attributive and the Guru’s Shabad, the Celestial Word.(10)<br />
'''Chaupeyi'''<br />
There is one Perception, which is beyond all the three attributes,<br />
Which has been expounded many a time in Vedas,(11)<br />
The Almighty invests every heart<br />
And is indivisible as water in the pitcher,(12)<br />
Deem (that) written on each of your body-hair,<br />
And the factual pronouncement I make to you for veracity:(13)<br />
The Sikh desirous of Guru’s Darshan,<br />
Should go and have the Darshan of Granth Jee,(14)<br />
After ablution early in the morning,<br />
he should judiciously undertake its three circumambulation,(15)<br />
'''Dohira'''<br />
With folded hands he should be seated, seeking my audience,<br />
And after paying obeisance to Guru Granth Jee, listen to the celestial exposition.(16)<br />
'''Chaupeyi'''<br />
Hearing the Shabad with concentration, and by putting mind into the Guru,<br />
He should listen and make others heed the Guru’s enlightening Shabad.(17)<br />
One who wants to communicate with me,<br />
He may read, listen to and ponder over Granth Jee.(18)<br />
Ones who aspires to listen to my sermons,<br />
Diligently, should he read and recite Granth Jee.(19)<br />
Deem Granth Jee as my embodiment,<br />
And concede to no other perception.(20)<br />
My Sikh is my third embodiment,<br />
Who remains imbued in the essence of Gurbani day and night.(21)<br />
One who puts confidence in and affection upon the Guru’s Shabad.<br />
He, always and ever, achieves the vision of the Guru.(22)<br />
He should revel in listening and recounting Guru’s Shabad,<br />
And with full concentration read Jap Jee Jaap.{23)<br />
He should go and espy the Guru’s Portal,<br />
And should withstand being tempted by other women.(24)<br />
With zeal, he should serve the Sikhs of the Guru,<br />
After relinquish all ego from his mind.(25)<br />
One who tends towards these actions,<br />
Recognises my manifestation.(26)<br />
'''Dohira'''<br />
That Sikh of the Guru gets acceptance, who performs the service,<br />
And the one who surrenders through mind, body and soul, and becomes prominent server of mine.(27)<br />
The service of such a Sikh of the Guru is approved by me,<br />
And listen, Nand, earnestly, this is the way, the heaven is secured.(28)<br />
'''Speech of Nand Lal'''<br />
You have expounded that Transcendental, Corporeal and Guru’s Shabad are your three attributes.<br />
Transcendental is not visible and Corporeal is through the Sikh.(29)<br />
'''Chaupeyi'''<br />
Your Transcendental Attribute is infinite,<br />
And who can have that vision, Oh My Benevolent-one.(30)<br />
Oh, My Master, you remain the Guru of the temporal world,<br />
And, Knowing-all, you prevail on all the minds.(31)<br />
'''Speech of Sri Guru Jee'''<br />
Listen, Sikh Brother, Nand Lal,<br />
Listen earnestly to my sweet words,(32)<br />
Guru’s Sikh becomes auspiciously corporeal,<br />
If he is, primarily and diligently, engaged in the service of Guru.(33)<br />
Guru’s Sikh, who conceives Guru’s Shabad,<br />
Obtains the blessings through the embodiment of the Shabad.(34)<br />
One who adheres to the explication through the manifestation of the Shabad,<br />
Leads others to the Infinite one.(35)<br />
Brother, I have narrated to you this discourse,<br />
And the ones who read and listen to it thoughtfully,(36)<br />
And, through my honour, the lights will merge into the light.(37)<br />
It is Samwat Seventeen hundred and fifty-two*,<br />
Auspicious Ninth day of first half of moon in the month of Maghar*.(38)<br />
On a Friday at the bank of (river) Satluj,<br />
The hero expounded these solemn verses to Nand Lal.(39)<br />
Those Sikhs of the guru who remember Waheguru attentively,<br />
Are endowed with salvation, remember, O Gursikh! (40)<br />
(*December 1695CE)<br />
