Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Please, Great Giver, let me never lose sight of You — give me Your Name to keep.
Here is my one real wish, the thing my heart truly wants: to keep what is good and true singing in me, day and night. That is the joy I am asking for.
This one means asking the Giver for one thing: to keep singing, day and night.
visar naahee daataar aapnaa naam dayh — do not let me forget, O Giver, give me Your Name. Daataar means the Giver.
gun gaavaa din raat naanak chaa-o ayhu — to sing Your goodness day and night, says Nanak, is my heart's wish. Chaa-o means a happy, eager longing.
Think of a favorite song you hum all day without trying. That is the wish here. The whole set of songs ends on one joyful hope: to keep remembering, always.
What is the one thing your heart most wants to keep with you always?
