Savaiye Sri Mukhbak (Mehl 5), Verse 2 — Streams of nectar, the Naam washes all clean
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Streams of nectar flow from You; Your treasures are too full to weigh. You are farther than the farthest, endless and beyond compare.
You do whatever You please and take no one's advice. In Your home, making and ending happen in a single blink.
No one else is equal to You; Your light is spotless and pure. Millions of wrongs are washed away by saying Your Naam, Har, Har.
Your devotees stand at Your Door, O One, and they are like You. Nanak, Your servant, says: with only one tongue, how can I describe them?
I give myself to them, again and again and again, forever.
The One's nectar and treasures never run out, and saying the Naam washes away millions of wrongs.
Amrit parvaah: streams of nectar. Atul bhandaar: treasures that cannot be weighed. Opat parlou aykai nimakh: making and ending in one blink. The whole world begins and rests inside the One.
Kot paraachhat jaahi naam lee-ay har har: millions of wrongs go when the Naam is spoken. Think of muddy hands under a running tap: the water does the cleaning. The refrain of the first verse returns at the end.
What helps you feel clean and light again after a hard day?
