ਹਉ ਕਿਆ ਗੁਣ ਤੇਰੇ ਆਖਾ ਸੁਆਮੀ ॥
ha-o ki-aa gun tayray aakhaa su-aamee.
What Glorious Virtues of Yours should I chant, O my Lord and Master?
ਤੂ ਸਰਬ ਜੀਆ ਕਾ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ॥
too sarab jee-aa kaa antarjaamee.
You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of all souls.
ਹਉ ਮਾਗਉ ਦਾਨੁ ਤੁਝੈ ਪਹਿ ਕਰਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਖਾਣੀ ਹੇ ॥੧੨॥
ha-o maaga-o daan tujhai peh kartay har an-din naam vakhaanee hay. ||12||
I beg for blessings from You, O Creator Lord; I repeat Your Name night and day. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
How could I ever list everything wonderful about You, my Master? You know every heart from the inside.
Maker, I ask You for Your gift. Night and day, I say Your Naam.
Some wonders are too big to list — so you just keep their name close.
antarjaamee is the inner-knower, the searcher of all hearts. ha-o kiaa gun aakhaa — what virtues could I even name? — is the wonder that is too big for words. The single request is simran: to keep the Name close night and day.
