ਗੁਣ ਕਾ ਦਾਤਾ ਸਚਾ ਸੋਈ ॥
gun kaa daataa sachaa so-ee.
The True Lord is the Giver of virtue.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਬੂਝੈ ਕੋਈ ॥
gurmukh virlaa boojhai ko-ee.
How rare are those who, as Gurmukh, understand this.
ਨਾਨਕ ਜਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਲਾਹੇ ਬਿਗਸੈ ਸੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਬੇਪਰਵਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੬॥੨॥੧੧॥
naanak jan naam salaahay bigsai so naam bayparvaahaa hay. ||16||2||11||
Servant Nanak praises the Naam; he blossoms forth in the ecstasy of the Name of the self-sufficient Lord. ||16||2||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The true One is the Giver of every good quality.
Rare is the heart that turns to the Guru and understands this.
Nanak says: the one who praises the Naam blossoms open, glad in the One who needs nothing.
Praising the Name opens a heart like a flower.
Bigsai so naam bayparvaahaa — one blossoms in the Name of the self-sufficient One. Bigsai is the same joyful blossoming as vigaas — the heart opening like a flower. Servant Nanak signs off not in fear but in bloom.
