Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are the constant help of the Saints. They see You always near.
Those who lack the Name die, full of sorrow and pain.
This one says the saints see the One close by, and the Name is what helps us see.
Sadaa sahaa-ee sant paykheh sadaa hajoor — "You always help the saints, who see You always near." The second line is sad: naam bihoonrhi-aa say marnih visoor visoor — those without the Name die full of sorrow.
The difference is not that the One likes some people more. The One is near to everyone. The question is whether we see it. The Name works like glasses. Put them on, and the blurry world comes into focus, and the ever-present One is right there. Without them, life can feel lonely and heavy all the way to the end.
What helps you notice what is always present but easy to miss?
