Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He is never far from us, wherever we go.
When He shows His mercy, we find Him. I offer this prayer to the perfect Guru: Nanak begs for the treasure of the Name.
This one is about the One being near, wherever you go.
Door na ho-ee kathoo jaa-ee-ai — the One is never far, wherever we go. However far the soul travels, the One is already there.
Think of the moon on a car trip. You drive for hours, look out the window, and the moon is still right there with you.
Nadar karay taa har har paa-ee-ai — when the One looks on us with kindness, we find the One. Finding is a gift of mercy.
So Nanak makes one prayer to the perfect Guru, the true teacher. Naanak mangai har Dhan raas — Nanak asks for the treasure of the Name.
Where have you gone looking for something that was with you the whole way?
