ਜਪਿ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਝੂਰੀਐ ॥
jap jap har kaa naam kaday na jhooree-ai.
Chanting and meditating up the Lord's Name, the mortal never comes to regret anything.
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਰਸ ਪਿਆਸ ਲੋਚਾ ਪੂਰੀਐ ॥੪॥੭॥੧੦੯॥

O Nanak, I thirst for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan; please, fulfill my desire, O Lord. ||4||7||109||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Chanting and meditating on the Name, the mortal never comes to regret.
O Nanak, I thirst for the sight of You; please fulfill my desire, Lord.
A life of remembrance is a life without regret — thirsting only to see the Beloved.
Two notes: remembrance leaves "no regret" (the regretful life of Shabad 166, avoided), and the soul "thirsts for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan." The Name keeps a life free of regret, and the heart longs only to see the Beloved.
