ਨਾਨਕ ਧ੍ਰਾਪੇ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮ ਸੁਆਦਿ ॥
naanak Dharaapay har naam su-aad.
Nanak is satisfied with the subtle taste of the Lord's Name.
ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਜਨਮੁ ਬਾਦਿ ॥੮॥੭॥
bin har gur pareetam janam baad. ||8||7||
Without the Beloved Lord and Master, life is meaningless. ||8||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: the subtle taste of the One's Naam has filled me, satisfied all the way through.
Without the Beloved, the One and the Guru, a life goes by empty, with no flavor at all.
One taste of the Naam fills you; the Beloved gives life its flavor.
One taste of the Naam fills you, and it is the Beloved who gives life its flavor.
Naanak dhraape har naam suaad — Nanak is filled by the subtle taste of the Naam. Bin har gur preetam janam baad: without the Beloved, life loses its flavor. Turned around, it is the Beloved who gives every day its taste.
