lyrics

koi bolai raam raam koi khudhaae
koi sevai gusaeea koi alaahi

kaaran karan kareem
kirpaa dhhaar raheem

English translation of full shabad (adapted by Simran Jeet Singh)
Some say 'Ram, Ram', and some say 'Khudaa.'
Some serve the Divine as Gusain; others as Allah.
The cause of causes is the compassionate Divine,
who showers us with grace and kindness.
Some bathe at pilgrimage sites, and some make the trek to Mecca.
Some worship with pooja, and some bow their heads in prayer.
Some read the Vedas, and some the Qur'an.
Some wear blue robes, and some wear white.
Some are identified as Turk, and some as Hindu.
Some yearn for paradise, and others long for heaven.
Says Nanak, one who recognizes the Divine Order (hukam)
knows the secrets of their Divine Master.
