ਐਸੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਰੇ ॥
aisee kirpaa karahu parabh mayray.
Please, bless me with such Mercy, O my God,
ਹਰਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਿਸਰੁ ਨ ਕਾਹੂ ਬੇਰੇ ॥੨॥੧॥੧੯॥
har naanak bisar na kaahoo bayray. ||2||1||19||
that Nanak may never, ever forget You. ||2||1||19||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Please, my God, show me this kindness.
Nanak says: let me remember You always, at every moment.
The best thing to ask for is a heart that keeps remembering what matters.
One gift matters above all: to remember the One always.
Aisee kirpaa karahu — please show me this kind of grace. Kirpaa means kindness freely given. Grace here is something you ask for and receive. It is not a prize you earn.
The prayer is bisar na kaahoo bayray — may I never forget You, not even once. Put the other way round, it means: may I always remember You and hold You close. Think of a favorite song you know so well that it plays in your head all day. That is the kind of remembering the Guru asks for.
