Complete Mantra:Bahota karam likhiaa na jaa-ay.
Vadaa dataa til na tamaay.
Kaytay mange jodh apaar.
Kaythaa ganat nahee veechaar.
Kaytay khap tuteh vikar.
Kaytay lai lai mukar paa-eh.
Kaytay moorakh khaahee khaa-eh.
Kaytiaa dookh bhookh sad maar.
Ay-eh bhe daat tayree daataar
Band khaalasee bhanai hoe.
Hor aakh na sakai koe.
Jay ko khaa-ik akhaan paae.
Oh jaanai jaytee-aa muh khaa-ay.
Aapay jaanay aapay day-eh.
Aakheh se bhe kay-ee kay-eh.
Jis no bakhsay siphat saalaah.
Naanak paatishaahee paatishaah.

Translation:
His Blessings are so abundant,
there can be no written account of them.
The Great Giver does not hold back anything.
So many great, heroic warriors beg
at the door of the Infinite Lord.
So many contemplate and dwell upon Him,
that they cannot be counted.
So many waste away to death engaged in corruption.
So many take and take again, and then deny receiving.
So many foolish consumers keep on consuming.
So many endure distress, deprivation, and constant abuse.
Even these are Your Gifts, O Great Giver!
Liberation from bondage comes only by your will.
No one else has any say in this.
If some fool should presume to say that he does, he shall learn, and feel the effects of his folly.
He Himself knows, He Himself gives.
Few, very few are those who acknowledge this.
One who is blessed to sing the Praises of the Lord,
O Nanak, is the king of kings.

Comments:
"If you recite the twenty-fifth pauri [Jap Ji] eleven times a day, it will bring you prosperity and wealth. It is a promise. There are many people who have done it and they became prosperous.
"The twenty-fifth pauri adds up to seven. It is a platform of levitation. It means wherever you are and whatever you are, this pauri will elevate you, levitate you, to the point of achievement, no matter what!
"Prosperity is a state produced immediately by the mind. When the sun comes out of the clouds, everything is lit. When the mind comes out of duality, prosperity is there. And the twenty-fifth pauri has the power to take away duality, because it covers every aspect of the projection of the self. It works on the tenth body, the radiant body." - Yogi Bhajan
