ਬਿਰਥੀ ਕਦੇ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜਨ ਕੀ ਅਰਦਾਸਿ ॥
birthee kaday na hova-ee jan kee ardaas.
The prayer of the Lord's humble servant is never offered in vain.
ਨਾਨਕ ਜੋਰੁ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ਕਾ ਪੂਰਨ ਗੁਣਤਾਸਿ ॥੨॥੧੩॥੭੭॥
naanak jor govind kaa pooran guntaas. ||2||13||77||
Nanak takes the strength of the Perfect Lord of the Universe, the treasure of excellence. ||2||13||77||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
An honest prayer from the heart is never wasted — it always reaches somewhere.
Nanak says: my strength comes from the Lord of the world, the full treasure of every good thing.
An honest prayer always reaches somewhere.
birthee kaday na hova-ee, jan kee ardaas — the heart's prayer is never empty; naanak jor govind kaa, pooran guntaas — strength drawn from the One, treasure complete.
