Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are the Giver of all, O One; every living being is Yours.
Everyone worships You, and You give to them, Beloved.
The generous Giver reaches out a hand, and rain pours down on the world.
Grain springs up in the fields; remember the Name of the One with love.
Nanak says: I ask the One for one gift — the Name to lean on.
The One gives to everyone, like rain falling on the whole world.
Daataa means Giver. Hath kadhi-aa: the Giver reaches out a hand. Meehu vuthaa: the rain pours down. Ann jammi-aa khaytee: grain springs up in the fields. Think of a dry summer field after the first rain, turning green almost overnight.
Har naam aDhaaray: the Name as support, like the post that holds up a house.
What in your life grows quietly, like seeds after rain, when it is cared for?
