Monica ji,

Guru Fateh parvaan karo ji.

I am putting the links to relevant contents here:

Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8203
http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/japji-sahib/53...ru-granth.html

"Ek-onkar satnam.......................... hosie bhi sach" is called Mool mantar from where Guru Granth Sahib ji starts.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8203
After that first pauri is there i.e. "Sochai soch naa hovayee...................nanak likhiya naal"

I will find some audio links for you so that you can download and listen to that.

Also to mention, harsimiritkaur ji is doing great job in coming up with phonetics for correct pronunciation... I could not find her work on this site regarding mool mantar and first pauri though.

If this does not help, let us know. will copy/paste the complete understanding here, instead of links.

Regards, Arvind.

Dear Manish Mahajan.

Welcome to this form!

I am providing one of the popular Translation of the Gubani you asked for . It is the First Bani /Opening part of Sri Guru Granth Sahib . I hope it helps

Here is a translation from Sant Teja Singh

IK OngKaar
There is but One all embracing and all-powerful Divinity, Who manifests Himself first in the shape of the sacred word(OngKaar), and then through the whole created Universe. He is the One-in-All and the All-in-One. He is the Eternal Reality.

SatNaam
Eternal and True is his name (Satnaam)

Karta
He is the Creator, and has the power of independent self-creation. He permeates the whole creation.

Purakh
He is the only male element in the Universe and all else is female.

NirBhau
He is above all fear

NirVair
free from all thoughts of enmity.

Akaal Moorat Ajoonee Saibhang
He is immortal, free from birth and rebirth, and can be realized in every created thing. He is self-existent.
The whole universe is dependent for its existence on Him but he is self-existent; the Generator of all, without any one to generate Him.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8203

Gur Prasaad
He can be realized through the grace of the Guru: - The Teacher who is God conscious, and sees Him both within and without.

you can download the whole book of translation at http://www.westernssa.com/resources/...ja%20SIngh.pdf
Index of /resources/docs
I find this translation although not explained line by line or word by word is more accurate.

The whole meaning of Mool mantra is really very deep. If you do understand punjabi audio. I suggest you listen to this
japji katha by Giani Thakur Singh here

G U R M A T V E E C H A R . C O M - Giani Thakur Singh Ji (Damdami Taksal wale) Katha

In it Guru Ji explains to the siddhas why was the need for this, when we already had other mantras like om (ong,aum)
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=8203

In short, we have a really priceless gift given to us, and it is superiour to everything .... try reciting
IK OongKaaar SatGur Prasaad for a while and you will feel.
OngKaar is the very form of God.

May Guru Ji bless you
