I have been working on the music for this composition since several years. The lyrics and 3 alternative translations are below. Devout sikhs like my grandfather and my parents recite Japji Sahib everyday in the morning. The initial and last steps are called shloka's and the 38 poems within are called pauris, which literally means steps.
From what I have experienced from listening to Japji over the years, Guru ji lays down a 40-step path for the soul bride to sing the essence of truth, Satnam. Many have called Japji Sahib the distillation of Guru Nanak's philosophy.
It is said that Guru Nanak composed this poem n Kartarpur on the right bank of the Ravi river towards the end of his travels. This is the 20th pauri of Guru Nanak's long poem Japji Sahib.
