Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Death brings such pain to others —
but it cannot even come near Your servant.
This one says that what scares people most cannot come near those who belong to the One.
Anik dookh dayveh avraa ka-o — death brings much pain to others. Pahuch na saakeh jan tayray ka-o — but it cannot even come near Your servant.
For most people, death is the biggest fear. For the one who belongs to the One, it has lost its power to frighten. Belonging to the One is the one true shelter.
Think of a small child during a storm, safe in a parent's arms. The thunder is still loud. But the child is not scared, because they know whose arms hold them.
What loses its power over you when you truly belong to something larger?
