Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Lots of people have it turned around — but I don't, because I've found the Living One.
Kabir says: the One watches over me and pours blessings on me.
This one says the point was never to prove others wrong. The point was to find the living One.
Kabir says the gardener is mixed up, and so is the world, but he is not. That could sound proud. But listen to why. Ham raam raakhay — the Lord keeps me safe. Kirpaa kar har raa-ay — the Lord, my King, has been kind to me.
So his clear seeing is a gift, not a trophy. His confidence does not rest on winning an argument about statues. It rests on being held and blessed by the living One.
Think of a kid who finally finds their way home after being lost. They are not bragging that they were smart. They are just glad and thankful to be home. That is how the song ends — in joy at being with the One who watches over us.
What matters more — winning an argument about beliefs, or actually feeling loved and looked after?
