If of interest, the Complete Shabad is below.  It is a "Chaupad" and has "Rahao Stanza" followed by four stanzas.  I have attempted an interpretation for each tuk and the Shabad outside of the quoted from srigranth.org.


Sat Sri Akal.

 One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:  

 ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਕੇਵਲ ਇਕ ਹੈ। ਸੱਚੇ ਗੁਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਦਇਆ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਉਹ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ।

ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖ ਇੱਕ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਾਲ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ।

Creator's understanding is like a lighted lamp in the mind.


 http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=ਬਿਨਸਿਓ[/URL]The darkness dissipates and it feels as though mind space gets filled with gems of understanding and virtue.

 

 http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=ਬਿਸਮਨ[/URL]In such an enlightenment of understanding, one cannot find words to describe the creator's virtue.

 

 http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=ਮਗਨ[/URL]One feels as though threaded into the creator being the cloth and becomes one with the creator.


 http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=ਆਲ[/URL] Wordly affairs and cares become insignificant and ego is subdued.


 http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=ਊਚਨ[/URL] In such a state one one experiences the creator in body and mind, one does not feel the separation from the creator.

 

 http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=ਏਕੰਕਾਰੁ  [/URL]The light from the creator's understanding makes one realize the one creator present everywhere.

 

 http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=ਏਕੁ[/URL]  One creator, omni-present appears as the support for all creation.


 http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=ਨਿਰਮਲ[/URL]

The creator appears as pious and the purest of pure in such enlightened mind.

Nanak, the creator is infinite and of status higher than the highest.
