Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
No matter what I have to go through, I will never let go of You.
Whatever happens, I will not break my bond of love with You.
This one is about a love that holds on through anything.
This is the heart of the shabad. Ja-o tan cheereh ang na mora-o — whatever happens to my body, I will not pull away from You. Pind parai ta-o pareet na tora-o — even if my body falls, I will not break my bond of love.
Kabir promises that nothing could make him let go of the One. No hardship, no pain, not even death. His strong words are his way of saying "whatever it costs." The point is the holding on, not the harm.
Think of two best friends who promise, "We'll always stick together, no matter what." That is the deepest kind of loyalty. It is a bond so strong that no trouble can break it.
To love the One like that, and to decide, "I will never let go, whatever comes," is the most faithful thing a heart can do.
What does it mean to love someone so faithfully that nothing could make you let go?
