Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are deeper than anyone can measure, so very great, my Master. You are an ocean of mercy, full of every jewel.
Nanak says: like a beggar, I ask for the Naam of the One, Har, Har, and I lay my forehead at Your feet.
Before a Giver this vast, the one thing worth asking for is the Naam.
Too athaahu at bado su-aamee: You are unfathomable and so very great, my Master. Kirpaa sinDh pooran ratnaagee: ocean of mercy, full source of jewels. Naanak jaachak har har naam maangai: Nanak, a beggar, asks for the Naam. Mastak aan Dhari-o prabh paagee: he lays his forehead at the One's feet. Asking with empty hands is the whole prayer.
If you could ask for just one thing worth keeping forever, what would it be?
