chunan lage jado kandh nu
kamb utheya aasmaan
jungle bele dol gaye, dolya hindustan
phir achanak tir wand shuk di aayi awaaz
naam dhyan guru da, aaya guru da baaz

satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
ehi naam hai sahara
ehi naam hai adhara
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru

muk jande ne jism ta
par aatma amar hai
jide ang sang prabhu hai
onu phir kisda dar hai
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru

tusi ji to ji de jaye
govind di aakh de tare
jine dove lal wade
has has dharm to ware
hun hai twadi wari
karo lal ji tyari
sikhi sidak na jaye
ulte kharaf na aye
jo janmy so marna
mar jana si na karna
ehi wahe guru da pana
us waqt sir jhukana
chadi kala te rehna
dukh howe to ehi kehna
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru
satynaam shiri wahe guru

When the shoulder bore the weight,
The heavens shuddered, desolate.
Forests swayed, the wild things wept,
As Hindustan itself slept.

Then, a sudden arrow, words of grace,
From the beak of faith, time and space.
The Guru's name, a whispered plea,
The Guru's falcon, wild and free.

Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru,
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru.
This Name, the only shore,
This Name, forevermore.
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru,
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru.

Bodies fade, their forms depart,
But the soul remains, a work of art.
Whose every limb, the Lord does hold,
For them, no fear, forever bold.
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru,
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru.

You lived your life,
Stars within Govind's eye,
Two red sons, brave and bright,
Laughed, embracing Dharma's light.
Now your turn has come,
Prepare, red one, be numb.
Let faith not falter,
Let no discord alter.
Born to die, the mortal plight,
Dying is not what you fight.
This is the Guru's decree,
Bow your head, and be free.
Embrace the darkness,
In sorrow, speak this blessedness.

Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru,
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru.
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru,
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru.
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru,
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru.
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru,
Truth is the Name, Great is the Guru.
