The embodiment of the light of all ten sovereign lordships, the Guru Granth - think of the view and reading of it and say, "Waheguru (wondrous Destroyer of darkness)".
Meditating on the achievement of the dear and truthful ones, including the five beloved ones, the four sons of the tenth Guru, forty liberated ones, steadfast ones, constant repeaters of the Divine Name, those given to assiduous devotion,those who repeated the Naam, Shared their fare with others, ran free kitchen, wielded the sword and everlooked faults and shortcomings, say "Waheguru", O Khalsa.

Thinking of the five thrones (seats of religious authority and all gurdwaras, say, "Wondrous Destroyer of darkness", O Khalsa.
Now it is the prayer of the whole Khalsa. May the conscience of whole Khalsa be informed by Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru and, in consequence of such remembrance , may total well-being obtain. Wherever there are communities of the Khalsa, may there be divine Protection and grace, the ascendance of the supply of needs and of the holy sword, protection of the tradition of grace, Victory of the Panth, the succour of the holy sword, ascendance of the Khalsa. Say, O Khalsa, "Wondrous Destroyer of darkness."
Unto the Sikhs the gift of the sikh Faith, the gift of the untrimmed hair, the gift of the discipline of their faith, the gift of sense of discrimination, the gift of trust, the gift of confidence, above all, the gift of meditation on the Divine and bath in Amritsar (holy tank at Amritsar). May hymns-singing missionary parties, the flags, the hostels, abide from age to age. May righteousness reign supreme. Say "Wondrous Destroyer of darkness".
May the Khalsa be imbued with humility and high wisdom! May Waheguru guard its understanding!
O Immortal Being, eternal helper of thy Panth, benevolent Lord, bestow on the Khals the beneficence of unobstructed visit to and free management of Nankana Sahib and other Shrines and places of the Guru from which the Panth has been separated.
O Thou, the honour of the humble, the strength of the weak,aid unto those who have none to rely on, True Father, Wondrous Destroyer of darkness, we humbly render to you........ Pardon any impermissible accretions, omissions, errors, mistakes. Fulfil the purposes of all.
Grant us the association of those dear ones, on meeting whom one is reminded of your name. O Nanak, may the Nam (Holy) be ever in ascendance! In Thy will may the good of all prevail!
(b)On the conclusion of the Ardas, the entire congregation participating in the Ardas should respectfully genuflect before the revered Guru Granth, then Stand up and Call out, "The Khalsa is of the Wondrous Destroyer of darkness : victory also is His." The Congregation should, thereafter, raise the loud spirited chant of Sat Sri Akal (True is the Timeless Being).
(c)While the Ardas is being performed, all men and women in the congregation should stand with hands folded. The person in attendance of the Guru Granth should keep waving the whisk standing.
