ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਭਗਤਿ ਰਸੁ ਦੀਜੈ ਮਨੁ ਖਚਿਤ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਰਸ ਖੋਰੀ ॥
kar kirpaa bhagat ras deejai man khachit paraym ras khoree.
Please bless me, that I may worship You in loving devotion. My mind is absorbed and intoxicated with Your Delicious Love.
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸ ਤੇਰੀ ਸਰਣਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਿਨੁ ਆਨ ਨ ਹੋਰੀ ॥੨॥੭੧॥੯੪॥
naanak daas tayree sarnaa-ee parabh bin aan na horee. ||2||71||94||
Nanak, Your slave, has entered Your Sanctuary; without God, there is no other at all. ||2||71||94||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Be kind, and give me the joy of loving devotion, so my mind drinks deep of Your sweet love.
Nanak says: I, Your servant, have come to Your shelter; without You, there is no other door for me.
Once you find home, you stop knocking on every other door.
A prayer for bhagat ras, the joy of devotion, so the mind is khachit, absorbed, in paraym ras, love's sweetness. naanak daas tayree sarnaa-ee: having entered the One's sanctuary, prabh bin aan na horee, there is no other door, no other refuge. It is an arrival: the seeker who has found home stops knocking elsewhere.
