ਕਰੁ ਗਹਿ ਲੀਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸਚੁ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ॥
kar geh leenay aapnay sach hukam rajaa-ee.
Taking me by the hand, He made me His own, through the True Order of His Command.
ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਦਿਤੀ ਦਾਤਿ ਸਾ ਪੂਰਨ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥੨॥
jo parabh ditee daat saa pooran vadi-aa-ee. ||2||
That gift which God gave to me, is perfect greatness. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Taking me by the hand, He made me His own, through the True Order of His Command.
The gift God gave me is perfect greatness.
The One takes you by the hand and makes you its own — that is the perfect gift.
The hands-on grace again: "taking me by the hand, He made me His own" (cf. Shabad 98, Shabad 187) — through "the True Order of His Command" (Hukam). And the gift is "perfect greatness" — not a small favor but the fullness of the One's grace. Taken by the hand, made His own.
