ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਗਾਵੈਗੋ ॥
kirpaa kirpaa kirpaa kar har jee-o kar kirpaa naam lagaavaigo.
Mercy, mercy, mercy - O Dear Lord, please shower Your Mercy on me, and attach me to Your Name.
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਵਹੁ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਵੈਗੋ ॥੧॥
kar kirpaa satguroo milaavhu mil satgur naam Dhi-aavaigo. ||1||
Please be Merciful, and lead me to meet the True Guru; meeting the True Guru, I meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Mercy, mercy, mercy — dear One, be merciful and join me to Your Naam.
In Your mercy, lead me to the True Guru. Meeting the True Guru, I will remember the Naam.
Grace is always here; we only ask to be open to it.
Mercy is a gift always present, and asking for it opens you to the Naam and the Guru.
Kirpaa kirpaa kirpaa: mercy, mercy, mercy, asked three times, like a child tugging at a sleeve. Naam lagaavaigo: join me to the Naam. Satguroo milaavhu: let me meet the True Guru. The asking is for nearness: to the Naam, to the Guru, to remembering.
