Help translating 3 words?

I need to translate this phrase from English into Punjabi, in Punjabi characters: Collection of Waheguru Simran

I'm making a graphic for my iPod for my simran folder, just wanted to put the punjabi text on the front with this phrase.

Thanks in advance

Step 1, download Gurmukhi fonts.

Step 2, wait for someone with more knowledge of Punjabi than me to translate!!! I can give you 'waheguru' and 'simran' in Gurmukhi but I'm not sure how to write it to mean 'collection of waheguru simran'. It's not as easy as translating word-for-word.

I didn't think it would be Ishna-ji

Thank you though
I have a Gurmukhi font, just a matter of waiting now :P

Even if you know Waheguru and Simran, that would be helpful as well

You don't need 'jaap' at the end. The first word is Waheguru.

But those words might change a little (letters/signs may be added) when put into the sentence 'collection of Waheguru Simran).

Thanks Ishnaji!

Thank you very much Ishna-ji
I also found this http://www.tamilcube.com/translate/punjabi.aspx
Which might help for anyone who wants to do something similar to me

What I have will do, the "collection of" part isn't so important

Thanks again Ishnaji

Rory ji

In the text you provided, I think Waheguru is written incorrectly. But perhaps there is no standard way of spelling it. I've only seen it spelled per the picture provided.

Thanks for the link!

Oops, thanks for pointing that out. I wouldn't have noticed otherwise :P
I got the text I posted from that translator, so I'll change it to use the translation you gave me on that picture. It's probably more likely the correct one.
