Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am poor. I am meek. I have nothing impressive to offer. But I belong to You, God.
Save me. Please — save me. You are the greatest of the great.
Nanak takes the Name as his only sustenance. In the Name alone, there is celestial peace.
The composition ends in the most honest place possible: claiming nothing except belonging. Not spiritual achievement, not virtue, not knowledge. Just: I am Yours.
This is the prayer that requires no credentials. Anyone in any condition can make it. And the response of the oneness — "the greatest of the great" — to this prayer is not proportional to the asker's merit. It is simply the response of the infinite to the sincere.
Is there a version of yourself that you feel ashamed to show — the one that is small, uncertain, not enough? What would it feel like to bring that version to the oneness and say: I belong to You?
