ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਅਵਗਣਿਆਰੇ ਨੋ ਗੁਣੁ ਕੀਜੈ ॥
har jee-o avgani-aaray no gun keejai.
O Dear Lord, please bless me, the worthless sinner, with virtue.
ਆਪੇ ਬਖਸਿ ਲੈਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੀਜੈ ॥
aapay bakhas laihi naam deejai.
Forgive me, and bless me with Your Name.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਸੋ ਪਤਿ ਪਾਏ ਇਕਤੁ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਹੇ ॥੧੨॥
gurmukh hovai so pat paa-ay ikat naam nivaasee hay. ||12||
One who becomes Gurmukh, is honored; he dwells in the Name of the One Lord alone. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O One, fill my empty places with goodness.
Forgive me, and give me Your Name.
The one who turns to the Guru is honored, living in the One Name alone.
It is alright to ask grace to fill the empty places in you.
An empty-handed prayer: a simple, dignified request for grace to fill what is missing. There is no shame in asking.
