ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਬਡ ਭਾਗੀ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਸੁਘੜੁ ਸੁਜਾਨੁ ॥
gur pooraa bhayti-o bad bhaagee antarjaamee sugharh sujaan.
I met the Perfect Guru, by great good fortune, and so found the wise and all-knowing Lord, the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.
ਹਾਥ ਦੇਇ ਰਾਖੇ ਕਰਿ ਅਪਨੇ ਬਡ ਸਮਰਥੁ ਨਿਮਾਣਿਆ ਕੋ ਮਾਨੁ ॥੧॥
haath day-ay raakhay kar apnay bad samrath nimaani-aa ko maan. ||1||
He gave me His Hand, and making me His own, He saved me; He is absolutely all-powerful, the honor of the dishonored. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By great good fortune I met the perfect Guru, and found the One who knows every heart, wise and all-knowing.
That One gave me a hand and made me His own — all-powerful, the honor of everyone the world overlooks.
The One gives dignity to exactly the people the world passes over.
gur pooraa bhayti-o bad bhaagee — meeting the Guru as good fortune, received. haath day-ay raakhay — the offered hand again. nimaani-aa ko maan — honor for those the world leaves without honor; Guru Arjan's steady lifting of the disregarded.
