Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One cares for every being and every creature.
By the Guru's grace, keep the One in mind always.
Through the True Door, you will go home with honor.
Nanak says: through the Naam, you are blessed with greatness.
Held close to the One, you are cared for now and welcomed home with honor.
The One cares for every creature, and keeping the One in mind brings you home with honor.
Jee-a jant kee karay partipaal: the One looks after every living being. Gur parsaadee sad samhaal: by the Guru's grace, keep the One in mind always. Dar saachai pat si-o ghar jaa-ay: you go home through the True Door, with honor. Naam vadaa-ee: greatness comes through the Naam, and status has nothing to do with it.
