Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Give me a home inside Your Name, and let a real quiet settle into me — the kind of calm that does not come and go.
Then I will sing, gladly, with whatever the teaching gives me. A settled heart and a song: that is enough.
This verse closes the shabad with a simple prayer: give me a home in the Name and a quiet heart.
Mai deejai naam nivaas antar saant ho-ay: give me a nivaas, a home, in Your Name, so there is saant, peace, inside me.
Gun gaavai naanak daas satgur mat day-ay: Nanak, the servant, sings Your praise when the True Teacher gives the mat, the teaching.
Think of coming home after a long day, dropping your bag, and sinking into your favorite chair. That settled feeling is what the verse asks for, and out of it, a glad song comes.
What gives you a calm that stays, even when the day is loud?
