ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਸਭੁ ਤੁਮਰਾ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਆਨ ਨ ਦੂਜੀ ਜਾਇ ॥
man tan Dhan sabh tumraa su-aamee aan na doojee jaa-ay.
My mind, body, wealth and all are Yours, O my Lord and Master; there is nowhere else for me at all.
ਜਿਉ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਹਿ ਤਿਵ ਹੀ ਰਹਣਾ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਰਾ ਪੈਨੈ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਖਾਇ ॥੧॥
ji-o too raakhahi tiv hee rahnaa tumHraa painHai khaa-ay. ||1||
As You keep me, so do I survive; I eat and I wear whatever You give me. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind, my body, everything I own is Yours, my Master; I have no other place to go.
As You keep me, so I live; I eat and wear whatever You give me.
Loosen your grip; what you need is already on its way.
Man tan Dhan sabh tumraa — mind, body, and wealth are all held, none of it self-made. Jio too raakhahi tiv rahnaa is living inside the flow of existence, the Hukam: trusting how things are arranged rather than fighting the current. Contentment is the fruit of that trust, not a reward for effort.
