ਜੀਉ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਧਨੁ ਰਾਸਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੇਰੀ ਤੂੰ ਸਮਰਥੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਮੇਰਾ ॥
jee-o pind Dhan raas parabh tayree tooN samrath su-aamee mayraa.
My soul, body and wealth are all Your capital; O God, You are my All-powerful Lord and Master.
ਦਾਸ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਕਉ ਰਾਖਨਹਾਰਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸ ਸਦਾ ਹੈ ਚੇਰਾ ॥੨॥੨੫॥੧੧੧॥
daas apunay ka-o raakhanhaaraa naanak daas sadaa hai chayraa. ||2||25||111||
You are the Saving Grace of Your slaves; slave Nanak is forever Your slave. ||2||25||111||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My life, my body, whatever I have — all of it is Yours, God; You are my mighty Master.
Nanak says: You keep Your own people safe, and I am Yours, always, gladly.
When everything is held by something bigger, you can hold it lightly.
jee-o pind Dhan raas prabh tayree — soul, body and means all belonging to the One. raakhanhaaraa — the keeper. daas sadaa hai chayraa — the one who is Yours, gladly — rendered as belonging rather than servitude. Closes ||25||111||.
