Shalok, Third Mehla:
ਸਭਨਾ ਕਾ ਸਹੁ ਏਕੁ ਹੈ ਸਦ ਹੀ ਰਹੈ ਹਜੂਰਿ ॥
sabhanaa kaa sahu ek hai sadh hee rahai hajoor ||
There is One Lord God of all; He remains ever-present.
ਨਾਨਕ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਨ ਮੰਨਈ ਤਾ ਘਰ ਹੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਦੂਰਿ ॥
naanak hukam na ma(n)niee taa ghar hee a(n)dhar dhoor ||
O Nanak, if one does not obey the Hukam of the Lord's Command, then within one's own home, the Lord seems far away.
ਹੁਕਮੁ ਭੀ ਤਿਨੑਾ ਮਨਾਇਸੀ ਜਿਨੑ ਕਉ ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥
hukam bhee tin(h)aa manaisee jin(h) kau nadhar karei ||
They alone obey the Lord's Command, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace.

The Lord cannot be obtained by any device at all; He is the Architect of Karma.

Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind, and the Lord is easily revealed within.

The fire of desire within is quenched, and one bathes in the Lord's Pool of Ambrosial Nectar.

End of the Hukamnama
Past seven days
What is a Hukamnama?
Each morning at Sri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, after Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is opened with prayer, the Granthi reads the shabad at the top of the left page the Guru opens to. That shabad is the Hukamnama, the Guru's order for the day. The word joins hukam, an order, and nama, a letter.
It is taken once and shared everywhere, so a Sikh in Amritsar and one in California read the same shabad that day. Many Sikhs read it after their morning Nitnem, or listen to it on the way to work, and carry a line of it through the day.
This page shows the day's Hukamnama in Gurmukhi with a transliteration and English translation, and the recording of it when one is available. The Simran app brings it to your phone each morning, with the lock screen widget showing the first line where you will see it first.
Frequently asked questions
What time is the Hukamnama taken?
It is taken at Sri Harmandir Sahib early in the morning, India time, and appears here soon after. India is twelve and a half hours ahead of California and five and a half hours ahead of London, so by the clock in North America the new Hukamnama usually arrives the evening before.
Why does the date look a day ahead of mine?
The date is the day in Amritsar, where the Hukamnama is taken. When it is Tuesday morning there it is still Monday evening in most of the Americas.
Can I read an earlier Hukamnama?
The past seven days are listed above. Each opens that day's full shabad in Gurmukhi with transliteration and English.
How do I get the Hukamnama on my lock screen?
The Simran app has a Daily Hukamnama widget for the lock screen on iPhone and Android. Add it once and the day's shabad is there each morning. The lock screen widget page walks through the setup.
