Phunhay, Verse 6 — carried across the hardest water
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: I have remembered the One, endless and without limit.
This world is an ocean too hard to cross, and the True Guru has carried me across.
My coming and going from life to life ended when I found the Perfect One.
O Lord! I received the sweet nectar of the One's Naam from the True Guru.
The True Guru carries you across the ocean you could not cross alone.
Bay-ant bay-ant Dhi-aa-i-aa: remembering the One who has no end. Dutar ih sansaar: this world is hard to cross, like a wide, rough sea. Satguroo taraa-i-aa: the True Guru carries the soul over.
Miti-aa aavaa ga-on: the coming and going from birth to birth is over. Amrit har kaa naam: the Naam of the One is amrit, a nectar sweeter than anything, and it comes from the True Guru.
Who or what helps carry you across your hardest crossings?
