ਜਨ ਕੀ ਭੂਖ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਹਾਰੁ ॥
jan kee bhookh tayraa naam ahaar.
Your Name is the food to satisfy the hunger of Your humble servants.
ਤੂੰ ਦਾਤਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦੇਵਣਹਾਰੁ ॥੩॥
tooN daataa parabh dayvanhaar. ||3||
You are the Great Giver, O Lord God. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your Name is like food that satisfies a deep hunger inside — a hunger nothing else quite fills.
You are the Great Giver, the One who keeps giving and giving.
There is a hunger in the heart that only the Name can feed.
jan kee bhookh tayraa naam ahaar — the servant’s bhookh (hunger) fed by the Name as ahaar (food). tooN daataa parabh dayvanhaar — You, the daataa (giver), the ever-dayvanhaar (giving). The Name as nourishment.
A Question to Sit With
What kind of hunger do you have that food cannot satisfy?
