ਅਨਤ ਤਰੰਗੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਿਨ ਜਪਿਆ ਮੈ ਗਣਤ ਨ ਕਰਿ ਸਕਿਆ ॥
anat tarangee naam jin japi-aa mai ganat na kar saki-aa.
Those who chant the Naam in endless waves - I cannot even count their number.
ਗੋਬਿਦੁ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰੇ ਥਾਇ ਪਾਏ ਜੋ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਇਆ ॥
gobid kirpaa karay thaa-ay paa-ay jo har parabh man bhaa-i-aa.
The Lord of the Universe bestows His Mercy, and those who are pleasing to the Mind of the Lord God, find their place.
ਗੁਰਿ ਧਾਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇਓ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਲਇਆ ॥੪॥੨॥
gur Dhaar kirpaa har naam darirh-aa-i-o jan naanak naam la-i-aa. ||4||2||
The Guru, granting His Grace, implants the Lord's Name within; servant Nanak chants the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||4||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So many have held the Name, in endless waves, that I could never count them.
The One pours out kindness and gives each a place. Nanak says: the Guru, in kindness, planted the Naam firmly within me, and I hold it.
Grace makes room for everyone; there is always a place for you.
Those who hold the Name come in endless waves. Grace gives each one a place, and the Guru plants the Name firmly within. The pada carries Nanak's signature.
