ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਇ ॥
mayray man gurmukh naam har Dhi-aa-ay.
O my mind, as Gurmukh, meditate on the Name of the Lord.
ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਚਰਣੀ ਲਾਗਿ ਰਹਾ ਇਕ ਮਨਿ ਏਕੈ ਭਾਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sadaa har charnee laag rahaa ik man aikai bhaa-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Remain attached forever to the Lord's Feet, single-mindedly, with love for the One Lord. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind, through the Guru, meditate on the Naam.
Stay at the feet of the One forever, with one mind and one love.
A gathered, single-hearted mind is steadier than a scattered one.
Ik man aikai bhaa-ay, single-mindedly, with love for the One, is the antidote to a scattered heart. To live gurmukh is to keep attention gathered around the Name rather than splintered among endless pulls. Focus itself becomes a kind of love.
