Jio Kar Sooraj Nikaliaa Taarae Chhipae Andhaer Paloaa. As if at the sun rise the stars disappeared and the darkness dispelled. Singh Boukae Miragaavalee Bhannee Jaae N Dheer Dharoaa. With the roar of the lion in the forest the flocks of escaping deer now cannot have endurance. Jithae Baabaa Pair Dharae Poojaa Aasan Thaapan Soaa. Wherever Baba put his feet, a religious place was erected and established. Sidh aasan Sabh Jagat Dae Naanak Aad Matae Jae Koaa. All the siddh-places now have been renamed on the name of Nanak. Ghar Ghar Andar Dharamasaal Hovai Keertan Sadaa Visoaa. Every home has become a place of dharma where singing. Baabae Taarae Chaar Chak Naukhand Prithamee Sachaa Toaa. Baba liberated all four directions and nine divisions of earth. Gurmukh Kal Vich Paragat Hoaa ॥ 27 ॥ Gurmukh (Guru Nanak) has emerged in this kaliyug, the dark age.
