ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਰੈ ਹਾਥਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਆਪਿ ਕਰੇ ਕਰਾਏ ॥
sabh kichh tumHrai haath parabh aap karay karaa-ay.
Everything is in Your Hands, God. You Yourself are the Doer, the Cause of causes.
ਸਾਸਿ ਸਾਸਿ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਰਹਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਾਨੁ ਪਾਏ ॥੪॥੧॥੪੧॥
saas saas simrat rahaa naanak daan paa-ay. ||4||1||41||
With each and every breath, may I continue to remember You. Please, bless Nanak with this gift. ||4||1||41||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Everything rests in Your hands — You are the one who sets it all in motion.
So my one wish is this: let me remember You with every breath. Give me that gift.
Let the one gift I ask for be to remember with every breath.
sabh kichh tumHrai haath — all is in Your hands; aap karay karaa-ay — the doer and the cause; saas saas simrat rahaa... daan paa-ay — with each breath to remember, asked for as a gift. Grace received, not achieved.

If you could ask for just one gift for your whole life, what would it be?
