Verse 3 of 3
The Good Sees Into Your Heart and Knows the Real You
ਕਿਆ ਗੁਣ ਤੇਰੇ ਆਖਿ ਵਖਾਣਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਜਾਨੁ ॥
ki-aa gun tayray aakh vakhaanaa parabh antarjaamee jaan.
What Glorious Virtues of Yours should I chant? O God, You are the Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts.
ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਸਰਨਿ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਗਰ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਸਦ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੁ ॥੨॥੭॥੮॥
charan kamal saran sukh saagar naanak sad kurbaan. ||2||7||8||
I seek the Sanctuary of Your Lotus Feet, O Lord, ocean of peace; Nanak is forever a sacrifice to You. ||2||7||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
"How could I ever praise You enough? You see right into every heart."
"I come to You for shelter, calm and peaceful One — I'm so grateful for You."
The good sees right into your heart and knows the real you — and you can rest in its shelter, grateful.
The shabad closes in humble praise and shelter: "what Glorious Virtues should I chant? You are the Searcher of hearts... I seek the Sanctuary of Your Lotus Feet, O ocean of peace." The One knows us through and through (comfortingly), and the heart rests in its shelter. The colophon (||2||7||8||) closes. For a child: the good sees right into your heart and knows the real you — and you can rest in its shelter, grateful.
