Mother’s Blessing (English translation)
[Intro]
O my child
This is your mother's blessing
May you never forget God
Even for a moment
Worshiping forever
The Lord of the Universe

[Verse 1]
O my child
This is your mother's blessing
May you never forget God
Even for a moment
Worshiping forever
The Lord of the Universe

O my child
This is your mother's blessing

In the remembrance of God
All misdeeds are purified
And all of our ancestors
Are welcomed in and saved

Always sing God's name: Har, Har
God is within you; God is infinite
May the true guru be kind to you
May you love to be in the company of saints
May God's protection
Be your clothing
May the song of God's praise
Be your sustenance

Drink the nectar of God's name
And live a long life
May your meditation upon God
Bring you unceasing bliss
May love be yours
And your wishes fulfilled
May worries never consume you

Make your mind the bumblebee
And let the lotus feet of God be the flower
O servant Nanak, attach your mind in this same way
As the sparrowhawk finds the raindrop and prospers
As the sparrowhawk finds the raindrop and prospers
