ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੩ ॥
salok mahalaa teejaa ||
Shalok, Third Mehla:
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਵਹੁ ਘੁਥਿਆ ਹਲਤੁ ਪਲਤੁ ਸਭੁ ਜਾਇ ॥
naanak naavahu ghuthiaa halat palat sabh jai ||
O Nanak, forsaking the Name, he loses everything, in this world and the next.
ਜਪੁ ਤਪੁ ਸੰਜਮੁ ਸਭੁ ਹਿਰਿ ਲਇਆ ਮੁਠੀ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ॥
jap tap sa(n)jam sabh hir liaa muThee dhoojai bhai ||
Chanting, deep meditation and austere self-disciplined practices are all wasted; he is deceived by the love of duality.
ਜਮ ਦਰਿ ਬਧੇ ਮਾਰੀਅਹਿ ਬਹੁਤੀ ਮਿਲੈ ਸਜਾਇ ॥੧॥
jam dhar badhe maare'eh bahutee milai sajai ||1||
He is bound and gagged at the door of the Messenger of Death. He is beaten, and receives terrible punishment. ||1||

Third Mehla:
ਸੰਤਾ ਨਾਲਿ ਵੈਰੁ ਕਮਾਵਦੇ ਦੁਸਟਾ ਨਾਲਿ ਮੋਹੁ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥
sa(n)taa naal vair kamaavadhe dhusaTaa naal moh piaar ||
They inflict their hatred upon the Saints, and they love the wicked sinners.
ਅਗੈ ਪਿਛੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਨਹੀ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮਹਿ ਵਾਰੋ ਵਾਰ ॥
agai pichhai sukh nahee mar ja(n)meh vaaro vaar ||
They find no peace in either this world or the next; they are born only to die, again and again.
ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਬੁਝਈ ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਹੋਇ ਖੁਆਰੁ ॥
tirasanaa kadhe na bujhiee dhubidhaa hoi khuaar ||
Their hunger is never satisfied, and they are ruined by duality.
ਮੁਹ ਕਾਲੇ ਤਿਨਾ ਨਿੰਦਕਾ ਤਿਤੁ ਸਚੈ ਦਰਬਾਰਿ ॥
muh kaale tinaa ni(n)dhakaa tit sachai dharabaar ||
The faces of these slanderers are blackened in the Court of the True Lord.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮ ਵਿਹੂਣਿਆ ਨਾ ਉਰਵਾਰਿ ਨ ਪਾਰਿ ॥੨॥
naanak naam vihooniaa naa uravaar na paar ||2||
O Nanak, without the Naam, they find no shelter on either this shore, or the one beyond. ||2||

ਜੋ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਦੇ ਸੇ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤੇ ਮਨ ਮਾਹੀ ॥
jo har naam dhiaaidhe se har har naam rate man maahee ||
Those who meditate on the Lord's Name, are imbued with the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, in their minds.
ਜਿਨਾ ਮਨਿ ਚਿਤਿ ਇਕੁ ਅਰਾਧਿਆ ਤਿਨਾ ਇਕਸ ਬਿਨੁ ਦੂਜਾ ਕੋ ਨਾਹੀ ॥
jinaa man chit ik araadhiaa tinaa ikas bin dhoojaa ko naahee ||
For those who worship the One Lord in their conscious minds, there is no other than the One Lord.

They continually sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, and singing the Glories of the Glorious Lord, they are uplifted.

Great is the greatness of the Gurmukhs, who, through the Perfect Guru, remain absorbed in the Lord's Name. ||17||
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.
