ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ॥
amrit naam sadaa sukh-daata.
The Ambrosial Naam is the Giver of peace forever.
ਗੁਰਿ ਪੂਰੈ ਜੁਗ ਚਾਰੇ ਜਾਤਾ ॥
gur poorai jug chaaray jaataa.
Throughout the four ages, it is known through the Perfect Guru.
ਜਿਸੁ ਤੂ ਦੇਵਹਿ ਸੋਈ ਪਾਏ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਤੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੀ ਜੀਉ ॥੧੦॥੧॥
jis too dayveh so-ee paa-ay naanak tat beechaaree jee-o. ||10||1||
He alone receives it, unto whom You bestow it; this is the essence of reality which Nanak has realized. ||10||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name is sweet as nectar and gives a peace that never runs dry.
In every age it is found the same way — through the perfect Guru. Nanak says: it comes to whoever You give it to, and that is the whole heart of the matter.
The Name gives a peace that never runs dry, and it comes as a gift.
Amrit naam sadaa sukh-daataa — the nectar-Naam is the ever-flowing giver of peace, known jug chaaray, in all four ages, through gur poorai, the perfect Guru. Jis too dayveh so-ee paa-ay — it is received by whoever grace gives it to. This is the tat, the essence, the whole point distilled.
