ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਸਦਾ ਹੈ ਸਾਚੀ ॥
gurmukh pareet sadaa hai saachee.
The love of the Gurmukh is forever true.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਮਾਗਉ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਜਾਚੀ ॥
satgur tay maaga-o naam ajaachee.
I beg for the invaluable Naam, the Name of the Lord, from the Guru.
ਹੋਹੁ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਰਖਿ ਲੇਵਹੁ ਗੁਰ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੫॥
hohu da-i-aal kirpaa kar har jee-o rakh layvhu gur sarnaa-ee hay. ||5||
O Dear Lord, please be kind, and grant Your Grace; please keep me in the Guru's Sanctuary. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The love of one who turns toward the Guru is true forever.
From the True Guru I ask for the Naam that no money could buy. Dear One, be kind, give Your grace, and keep me in the Guru's shelter.
The best things cannot be bought — they can only be asked for and received.
Ajaachee means beyond price — the invaluable Naam. Honest asking looks like this: open hands, asking the Guru for what only the Guru can give. The prayer hohu daiaal (be kind) is the empty-handed posture that grace meets.
