ਆਸਾ ਮਾਣੁ ਤਾਣੁ ਧਨੁ ਏਕ ॥
aasaa maan taan Dhan ayk.
The One Lord is my hope, honor, power and wealth.
ਸਾਚੇ ਸਾਹ ਕੀ ਮਨ ਮਹਿ ਟੇਕ ॥੩॥
saachay saah kee man meh tayk. ||3||
Within my mind is the Support of the True Banker. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One alone is my hope, my honor, my strength, and my treasure. Deep in my mind I rest on the support of the truest keeper of all.
Hope, honor, strength, wealth — all of it rests safely in the One true keeper.
Aasaa maan taan dhan ayk — the One is "hope, honor, power, wealth," all four at once. The image saachay saah kee man meh tayk draws on banking: the One as saah, the "true Banker," whose backing never fails. Every kind of security we scatter across many sources is here gathered into a single, trustworthy One.
