Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I found a truly good, humble person. I asked them for one thing.
"Give me the real treasure, the good. Take away my restless hunger and thirst."
This one says: the best thing to ask for is the good, because only it fills your deepest hunger.
The verse meets a truly good, humble person and makes one request. Raam naam Dhan poojee dayvhu — "give me the wealth, the savings, of the Name."
Then: "take away all my hunger and thirst." This is not hunger for food. It is the restless feeling of always wanting more. Think of getting a new game and feeling bored with it a week later. More stuff doesn't fill that gap. The real treasure, the good, is what finally satisfies it.
What is your heart truly hungry for, underneath everything?
