I am Your child; I know nothing about Your state and extent; I am foolish, idiotic and ignorant.
O Lord, shower me with Your Mercy; bless me with an enlightened intellect; I am foolish - make me clever. ||1||
My mind is lazy and sleepy.
The Lord, Har, Har, has led me to meet the Holy Guru; meeting the Holy, the shutters have been opened wide. ||Pause||
O Guru, each and every instant, fill my heart with love; the Name of my Beloved is my breath of life.
Without the Name, I would die; the Name of my Lord and Master is to me like the drug to the addict. ||2||
Those who enshrine love for the Lord within their minds fulfill their pre-ordained destiny.
I worship their feet, each and every instant; the Lord seems very sweet to them. ||3||
My Lord and Master, Har, Har, has showered His Mercy upon His humble servant; separated for so long, he is now re-united with the Lord.
Blessed, blessed is the True Guru, who has implanted the Naam, the Name of the Lord within me; servant Nanak is a sacrifice to Him. ||4||3||
