ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ ਸਮਰਥ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦੇਹਿ ਅਪਨਾ ਨਾਉ ॥
karan kaaran samrath parabh deh apnaa naa-o.
Cause of causes, All-powerful Lord God, please bless me with Your Name.
ਨਾਨਕ ਤਰੀਐ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਉ ॥੪॥੨੭॥੫੭॥
naanak taree-ai saaDhsang har har gun gaa-o. ||4||27||57||
Nanak is carried across in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||4||27||57||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You who make everything happen, cause behind every cause — please give me Your Name.
Nanak says: in the Sangat we are carried across, singing what is good about the One.
The best thing you can ask for is often something you then get to share.
Karan kaaran samrath prabh, deh apnaa naa-o — the one gift asked for; naanak taree-ai saadhsang, har har gun gaa-o — carried across in the Sangat. The Name and the crossing go together.
SaadhSang is the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Singing together, everyone is carried across.
