O Lord, O Merciful to the meek, please give me faith and confidence,
ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਸ ਹਰਿ ਸਰਣਿ ਸਮਾਹਾ ॥੪॥੨੦॥੨੬॥
naanak daas har saran samaahaa. ||4||20||26||
so that slave Nanak may remain absorbed in Your Sanctuary. ||4||20||26||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kind One, give me the heart and the courage to keep going.
So that I can stay resting in Your shelter, and not wander off when things get hard.
Courage is not only starting — it is the strength to stay.
deen da-i-aal karahu utsaahaa — the deen dayaal giving utsaah (encouragement, spirit). naanak daas har saran samaahaa — absorbed in the saran (sanctuary). Grace as the courage to remain. ||4||20||26||.
