Dhyana mulam guru murti, puja mulam guru paduka;

Save us from the ocean deep

Welcome me to follow their own way
The essence of all was revealed
The seed of all was revealed
I walk on the true way today

Nectar from Satguru's feet
Is so holy and it cleans us of our sins
So sacred in cleaning us of sins

When He speaks darkness cannot stay
Doubts removed, new life then begins

Mine, thine, wealth, health
Give them. to the Lotus Feet of Love

Desires have robbed me and left me
In the darkness of the night
Trapped me in the darkness of the night
Guru gives Holy Name and Light
Guru gives Holy Name and Sight
Cross the ocean by His love and light

Many past forms you have taken
Now we have come in Your control
Again You have come to save the soul
In this time of darkness
To lead your devotees from darkness
You have come as Hansa the Pure Soul
Jai Dev, Jai Satgurudev.

Come to the shelter of Guru's grace
Come with your heart and your soul
Bring Him your heart and your soul
Cross the worldly ocean
Cross it by your devotion
And attain the Supreme Goal
