Make Me Your Student

ਇਹ ਬੇਨੰਤੀ ਸੁਣਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਰੇ ॥
ih baynantee sun parabh mayray.
Please, listen to this prayer, O my God.
ਦੇਹਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਿ ਅਪਣੇ ਚੇਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
deh naam kar apnay chayray. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Please bless me with Your Name, and make me Your chaylaa, Your disciple. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Please hear this small prayer of mine.

Give me the Name to hold, and let me be Your student — someone who is happy just to keep learning from You.

It is a gift to stay a student of what is good and true.
The deeper layer

ih baynantee sun parabh mayray — hear this baynantee (prayer). deh naam kar apnay chayray — make me Your chela (disciple). The posture of the lifelong learner. This is the Pause line.

A Question to Sit With

Who is someone you would love to keep learning from?
