ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਨੁ ਜਾਪੇ ॥
aath pahar tayraa naam jan jaapay.
Twenty-four hours a day, Your humble servant chants Your Name.
ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਲਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਆਪੇ ॥੪॥੨੩॥੧੦੯॥
naanak pareet laa-ee parabh aapay. ||4||23||109||
You Yourself, O God, have inspired Nanak to love You. ||4||23||109||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All through the day and night, Your servant repeats Your Naam.
Nanak says: the love I feel for You — You Yourself planted it in me.
Even the love you feel was a gift given to you first.
aath pahar tayraa naam jan jaapay — the Name kept through all eight watches of the day. naanak preet laa-ee prabh aapay — the love itself given by the One; even devotion is grace received.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you think your love for the things you love first came from?
