ਹਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੇ ਕੀ ਓਟ ਪਰਾਤੀ ॥
har gur pooray kee ot paraatee.
I seek the support of the Perfect Guru, the Lord.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਜਾਤੀ ॥
gurmukh har liv gurmukh jaatee.
The Gurmukh loves the Lord; the Gurmukh realizes the Lord.
ਨਾਨਕ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮਿ ਮਤਿ ਊਤਮ ਹਰਿ ਬਖਸੇ ਪਾਰਿ ਉਤਾਰਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੭॥੪॥੧੦॥
naanak raam naam mat ootam har bakhsay paar utaaraa hay. ||17||4||10||
O Nanak, through the Lord's Name, the intellect is exalted; granting His forgiveness, the Lord carries him across to the other side. ||17||4||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I lean my whole weight on the Perfect Guru, the One.
The Gurmukh loves the One; the Gurmukh comes to know the One.
Nanak says: through the Naam, the mind is lifted and made bright; and in pure grace, the One carries us gently across.
Lean your whole weight on the Guru, and be carried gently across.
Everything rests on the gur pooray, the Perfect Guru. The gurmukh loves and comes to know the One; through the Naam the mat (intellect) becomes ootam (exalted), and the One, forgiving (bakhsay), carries the soul across.
