ਧਾਰਿ ਅਨੁਗ੍ਰਹੁ ਆਪਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਸ੍ਵਾਮੀ ਪਤਿ ਮਤਿ ਕੀਨੀ ਪੂਰੀ ॥
Dhaar anoograhu aap parabh savaamee pat mat keenee pooree.
Granting His Grace, God my Lord and Master Himself saved my honor, and my intellect has been made perfect.
ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ਬਾਛਉ ਸੰਤਾ ਧੂਰੀ ॥੪॥੧੩॥੬੩॥
sadaa sadaa naanak balihaaree baachha-o santaa Dhooree. ||4||13||63||
Forever and ever, Nanak is a sacrifice, longing for the dust of the feet of the Saints. ||4||13||63||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
With pure kindness the One kept my honor whole and made my mind clear and steady.
Always and always I give thanks, longing only to sit humbly among the good-hearted.
A truly clear mind wants to stay humble, not to show off.
Pat mat keenee pooree -- both honor and understanding (mat) made complete. Baachha-o santaa dhooree -- longing for the dust of the good; the mark of a whole mind is not pride but a wish to stay humble.
