ਸਗਲ ਮਨੋਰਥ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਕੀਏ ਭੇਟੇ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ॥
sagal manorath parabh kee-ay bhaytay gurdayv.
God has fulfilled all hopes and desires; I have met the Divine Guru.
ਜੈ ਜੈ ਕਾਰੁ ਜਗਤ ਮਹਿ ਸਫਲ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਸੇਵ ॥੧॥
jai jai kaar jagat meh safal jaa kee sayv. ||1||
God is celebrated and acclaimed all over the world; it is fruitful and rewarding to serve Him. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One brought all my hopes to completion once I met the Guru.
Loving the One is honored the world over, and never goes to waste.
Love given to the One is never thrown away.
All hopes come true once you meet the Guru.
Sagal manorath parabh kee-ay: the One fulfilled all my hopes. Bhaytay gurdayv: once I met the Guru. Think of a seed you watered for weeks, and one morning it finally blooms.
The second line says jai jai kaar jagat meh: the One is praised all over the world. Safal jaa kee sayv: sayv means loving service, and serving the One always bears fruit. Love given this way is never wasted.
