ਮੰਗਤ ਜਨ ਦੀਨ ਖਰੇ ਦਰਿ ਠਾਢੇ ਅਤਿ ਤਰਸਨ ਕਉ ਦਾਨੁ ਦੀਜੈ ॥
mangat jan deen kharay dar thaadhay at tarsan ka-o daan deejai.
The meek and humble beggars stand begging at Your Door. Please be generous and give to those who are yearning.
ਤ੍ਰਾਹਿ ਤ੍ਰਾਹਿ ਸਰਨਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਆਏ ਮੋ ਕਉ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜੀਜੈ ॥੧॥
taraahi taraahi saran parabh aa-ay mo ka-o gurmat naam darirheejai. ||1||
Save me, save me, O God - I have come to Your Sanctuary. Please implant the Guru's Teachings, and the Naam within me. ||1||

Your humble ones stand at Your door with open hands, longing so much. Please be generous and give to them.
Save me, save me, O One. I have come to Your shelter. Plant the Guru's teaching and the Naam deep inside me.
Standing with open hands is a way of trusting.
Standing at the door with open hands is a way of trusting a generous Giver.
Mangat jan deen: the humble ones who ask, kharay dar thaadhay, standing at the door. Daan deejai: please give. Taraahi taraahi: save me, save me. Saran prabh aa-ay: I have come to Your shelter. Gurmat naam drirheejai: plant the Guru's teaching and the Naam firmly within me.
