ਤਿਆਗਿਓ ਸਗਲਾ ਮਾਨੁ ਮਹਤਾ ਦਾਸ ਰੇਣ ਸਰਣਾਏ ॥
ti-aagi-o saglaa maan mahtaa daas rayn sarnaa-ay.
Abandoning all pride and self-importance, I have sought the Sanctuary of the dust of the feet of the Lord's slave.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਭਏ ਏਕੈ ਮਹਾ ਅਨੰਦ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਏ ॥੪॥੩॥
kaho naanak har mil bha-ay aikai mahaa anand sukh paa-ay. ||4||3||
Says Nanak, meeting with the Lord, I have become one with Him; I have found supreme bliss and peace. ||4||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I set down all my pride and self-importance and took the humble place.
Nanak says: meeting the One, I became one with Him, and found the deepest joy and peace.
Setting down pride is where the deepest joy begins.
Setting down pride and taking the dust-of-the-feet place (daas rayn), the heart meets the One and finds supreme bliss. Nanak's signature closes it.
