Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A tiger always wants meat to eat.
When a warrior sees the battlefield, his heart lifts high.
A miser loves his money more than anything.
The One's servant leans on the One, Har, Har, for support.
Everyone leans on something, and the One's people lean on the One.
Singh ruchai sad bhojan maas — the tiger always hungers for meat. That is simply its nature. Ran daykh sooray chit ulaas — seeing the battlefield, the brave warrior's heart leaps with eagerness. Kirpan ka-o at dhan pi-aar — the miser loves wealth with his whole heart.
Each one has something that pulls them. Har jan ka-o har har aadhaar — for the One's servant, the One is the aadhaar, the support. Think of a young vine climbing a fence. Take the fence away and it slumps to the ground. The One is the fence the servant grows along.
What do you lean on when things get hard?
