ਤੂ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਹਮ ਹੰਸ ਤੁਮਾਰੇ ਤੁਮ ਮਹਿ ਮਾਣਕ ਲਾਲਾ ॥
too saagar ham hans tumaaray tum meh maanak laalaa.
You are the ocean, and I am Your swan; the pearls and rubies are in You.
ਤੁਮ ਦੇਵਹੁ ਤਿਲੁ ਸੰਕ ਨ ਮਾਨਹੁ ਹਮ ਭੁੰਚਹ ਸਦਾ ਨਿਹਾਲਾ ॥੨॥
tum dayvhu til sank na maanhu ham bhunchah sadaa nihaalaa. ||2||
You give, and You do not hesitate for an instant; I receive, forever enraptured. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are the ocean, and I am Your swan; the pearls and rubies are all in You.
You give without holding back for even an instant, and I receive, delighted forever.
The Giver never hesitates — you only have to keep receiving.
Too saagar ham hans — You are the ocean, I am Your swan; the maanak laalaa, the pearls and rubies of the Name, are all in You. Til sank na maanhu — You give without hesitating for an instant. The receiver's part is simply to stay delighted.
