ਅੰਤਿ ਕਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਏ ਸਹਾਈ ਇਤ ਉਤ ਰਾਖਨਹਾਰੇ ॥
ant kaal parabh bha-ay sahaa-ee it ut raakhanhaaray.
At the very last moment, God becomes the mortal's Help and Support; here and hereafter, He is the Savior Lord.
ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਮੀਤ ਹੀਤ ਧਨੁ ਮੇਰੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਦ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੇ ॥੪॥੬॥੪੫॥
paraan meet heet Dhan mayrai naanak sad balihaaray. ||4||6||45||
He is my breath of life, my friend, support and wealth; O Nanak, I am forever a sacrifice to Him. ||4||6||45||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
At the very last moment, God becomes our help and support; here and hereafter, He is the Savior.
He is my breath of life, my friend, support, and wealth — Nanak is forever a sacrifice to Him.
When everything else falls away at the end, the One is still there — your help and support.
The close reaches the last moment: "at the very last moment, God becomes the mortal's Help and Support." When everything else falls away at death, the One remains — "my breath of life, my friend, support and wealth." The parent who cherished the child (Pauri 0) is there to the very end.
