The Sabad begins with a profound surrender to the Guru, a heartfelt offering of praise spanning hours. This symbolizes the depth of devotion and the unyielding commitment to the Divine. The Sabad acknowledges the Divine's omniscience, recognizing the Divine as the Knower of all hearts.

I surrender to my own Guru,
I sing for eight pahars¹ the praise,
of the All-Pervasive, the All-Pervasive.  1.
I remember my own Divine Owner,
the Knower of all hearts. 1.  Reflect.
As love develops for the Lotus-Feet,
conduct becomes eternal,
complete and immaculate.  2.
By Truth-Exemplar’s Grace,
the One comes to reside in the mind,
the evil of many life-times leaves .  3.
O! Compassionate Divine,
bestow Grace on the meek.
Nanak asks for Truth-Exemplar’s dust-blessing.  4.

1 Unit of time equaling 3 hours. 8 pahars make 24 hours.
