I'll post the first 5 Pouries

Creator of the worlds is One,

Before the Maker there is none.

Truth His Name, pervading force,

Fearless, guileless, timeless source.

Never born, the absolute,

Self-illumed His attribute.

By Guru's Grace the Lord is Known,

The Self-existent One is shown.

First beginning was the truth;

Always has it been the truth;

The present time reveals the truth;

Eternity shall bear the truth.1.

Thinking, brooding cannot yield

A glimpse of God or silence wield

His presence by the mind revolved

On God, the problem is not solved.

Hunger is not satisfied

By goods the world diversified.

A million crafts a man possesses

But death his crafts soon dispossesses.

How to cast the veil aside

And truth within yourself abide?

Nanak says:

Obey the Law as preordained,

Accept God's will as He ordained.1.

By the will of God this world

And all its myriad forms unfurlled.

Countless is the Maker's will,

Through His will does life instil.

Greatness can a man attain

If the will of God ordains.

Some are high and some are not,

Some are happy with their lot,

And others suffer in their life

With miseries and endless strife.

By His Word is Grace bestowed

Yet others tread the endless road,

And everywhere His will is heard-

Every form obeys His Word.

Nanak says:

If a man His law may know,

Humbleness in him will show. 2.

The strong sing praises of His might,

The fortunate in Grace delight.

His virtues, merits, some may sing,

His attributes to song they bring.

Some acclaim Him through debate,

And some His powers to create;

Giving life to take away,

Again from death to life relay.

Far away He seems to be

Or close to us where all can see.

Countless beings to discourse

On God, a never-ending source.

More He gives than we can gain,

Inundated, we refrain.

God the universe sustains,

Through every age He thus maintains.

According to His own command

The beings walk as He has planned.

Nanak says:

Happy, calm, the Lord remains,

Bliss and joy He maintains. 3.

True the Lord, true the Name,

Devoted ones His Name acclaim.

Beggars gather at His gate

And boundless alms there radiate.

What could I give to have the chance

To find His court and feel His glance?

In early morn repeat His Name,

His majesty within proclaim.

With human birth through karma gained

And Grace, may freedom be obtained.

Nanak says:

Know that God alone is true,

Everything does God imbue.4.

The Lord cannot be made or spun,

Self-existent, He is One.

The Lord if by a person served,

Honour has that one deserved.

Nanak says:

Extol the Lord and sing His praise,

Let His virtues you appraise.

With love of God within your heart,

His virtues shall your song impart.

Miseries from you will fly

And happiness within shall lie.

The Word of God to man revealed

By Guru does true knowledge yield.

Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu all

The names of Guru may we call.

Saraswati, Lakshmi too,

Parvati, these names accrue.

Unknowable the Lord remains,

Unspeakable are His refrains.

From the Guru did I learn,

God bestows to each in turn.

May I always God recall,

May never from the mind Lord fall. 5.
