I beg of You, O Lord of Mercy, O my Father, please cherish me!
ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਉ ਤੇਰੇ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਲ ॥੪॥੧੧॥੪੧॥
gun gaava-o tayray saaDhsang naanak sukh saal. ||4||11||41||
I sing Your Glorious Praises, in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, O Lord, Home of peace. ||4||11||41||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I ask You gently, kind One, my Father: take care of me, Your child.
Nanak says: let me sing Your praises in the Sangat, my home of peace.
Singing the One's praises in the Sangat feels like coming home.
Bin-o kara-o karunaapatay pitaa partipaal — the One, called a cherishing Father, who takes care of the child.
Gun gaava-o tayray saadhsang... sukh saal — singing praise in the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — is the 'home of peace.' A warm, tender close.
A Question to Sit With
