Mother's blessing [English translation]

Oh my child this is your mother's blessing.

May you never forget God, even for a moment

Worshipping forever the Lord of the universe.

Remembering God, all mistakes are washed away.

And one's ancestors are redeemed and saved.

Always chant God's Name, Har Har

God is inside you, God is Infinite.

May the True Guru be kind to you

May you love to be with the Saints.

May your clothing be the protection of God

May your food be the singing of God's Praise.

Drink the nectar of God's Name and live long

May meditation on God bring you endless bliss.

May love be yours and your hopes fulfilled

May you never be worn by worry.

Let this mind of yours be the bumble bee

And let the Lotus Feet of God be the flower.

Oh Servant Nanak, link your mind in this way

Like the sparrow hawk finding a raindrop, blossom forth.
