Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Please be kind to me, dear One. This is all I ask: the dust of the feet of the Sangat.
Nanak says: meet the saints, and you find the One. Your humble servant has met You, right here in Your presence.
A simple prayer: let me be with the Sangat.
Maaga-o means "I ask." It is honest asking, like a child asking a parent. The wish is simple: the dust of the feet of the Sangat.
And the reason is given. Sant milai har paa-ee-ai: "meeting the saints, the One is found." It happens right in the Presence, raam hajoor. Think of a campfire on a cold night. You don't have to understand fire to get warm. You just sit close. This verse closes the hymn about the Sangat.
If you could ask for one thing to grow into, what would it be?
