From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married.
Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come.
When woman dies he seeks another woman to woman he is bound.
So why call her bad. From her, kings are born?
From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
O Nanak, only the True Lord is without a woman.
Blessed, beautiful it the mouth that praises the Lord continually.
O Nanak, those faces shall be radiant in the Court of the True Lord.
