ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਧਨੁ ਸਭੁ ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਹਉ ਕਿਆ ਗਨੀ ॥
tan man har kaa Dhan sabh har kaa har kay gun ha-o ki-aa ganee.
Body and mind belong to the Lord; all wealth belongs to the Lord; what glorious virtues of the Lord can I describe?
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਹਮ ਤੁਮ ਗੁਰਿ ਖੋਈ ਹੈ ਅੰਭੈ ਅੰਭੁ ਮਿਲੋਗਨੀ ॥੪॥੩॥
kaho naanak ham tum gur kho-ee hai ambhai ambh miloganee. ||4||3||
Says Nanak, the Guru has destroyed my sense of 'mine and yours'. Like water with water, I am blended with God. ||4||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My body, my mind, all my wealth — it all belongs to the One. Which of the One's good qualities could I ever describe?
Nanak says: the Guru has wiped away my sense of "mine" and "yours." Like water poured into water, I am blended with the One.
Let go of "mine and yours" and you flow back into the whole, like water into water.
Ham tum gur khoee — the Guru dissolves the "mine and yours" split (the heart of haumai). Ambhai ambh miloganee, water blended into water, is the classic image of Ik Onkar: the drop and the sea are one water.
