Translation: Victory to the Glorious Gurus. May Sri Bhagavati Ji assist us, I write the ode of Sri Bhagavati Ji. First I recall Bhagavati, (Whose symbol is the sword) and then I reflect on Guru Nanak. Then Guru Arjan, Guru Amar Das and Guru Ram Das, may they help us. I reflect on Guru Arjan, Guru Hargobind and Guru Har Rai. I remember Guru Har Kishan, by whose sight all the sufferings vanish. Then I do remember Guru Tegh Bahadur, though whose grace the nine treasures come my house. May they be helpful to us everywhere.
