ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਕਾ ਹੋਰੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਕੋਈ ਨਾਹੀ ॥
satgur daataa raam naam kaa hor daataa ko-ee naahee.
The True Guru is the Giver of the Lord's Name. There is no other giver at all.
ਜੀਅ ਦਾਨੁ ਦੇਇ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾਸੇ ਸਚੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਹੀ ॥
jee-a daan day-ay tariptaasay sachai naam samaahee.
Bestowing the gift of the soul, He satisfies the mortal beings, and merges them in the True Name.
ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਰਵਿਆ ਰਿਦ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਹਜਿ ਸਮਾਧਿ ਲਗਾਹੀ ॥੨॥
an-din har ravi-aa rid antar sahj samaaDh lagaahee. ||2||
Night and day, they ravish and enjoy the Lord within the heart; they are intuitively absorbed in Samaadhi. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The True Guru is the Giver of the Naam of Raam; there is no other giver at all.
Giving the gift of life, the Guru fills people up, and they merge into the True Naam.
Night and day, they delight in the One inside their hearts, resting easily in deep stillness, samaadhi.
One gift finally satisfies the hunger nothing else could fill.
The True Guru gives the Naam, a gift that fills the deepest hunger.
Satgur daataa raam naam kaa: the True Guru is the Giver of the Naam; hor daataa koee naahee, there is no other giver. That gift of the soul (jee-a daan) satisfies the deepest hunger (triptaasay), so the heart rests, absorbed in the One (sahj samaadh).
