Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Be kind and bring me into the Sangat of holy people. I have come to the holy ones for shelter.
I am a heavy stone, sinking down. Lift me up and pull me out, O One! You are kind to the humble, and You take sorrow away.
When you feel like a stone sinking, the One who is kind to the humble can lift you out.
Satsangat saadh da-i-aa kar maylhu — be kind and join me with the Sangat of holy people. Sarnaagat means coming for shelter, the way you run under a porch when the rain starts.
Then comes a picture anyone can feel: ham dubday paathar — we are sinking stones. A stone cannot swim. It cannot lift itself, however hard it tries. So the prayer asks to be pulled out: kaadh layho prabh. The One is deen da-i-aal, gentle with the humble, and dukh bhanj, the One who breaks sorrow apart.
When you feel weighed down, who or what helps lift you back up?
