Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The True, Highest One is always new, forever fresh.
By the Guru's grace, I keep saying the One's Naam.
The One is my protector, my mother and my father.
Remembering the One, I am free of sorrow.
Something can be ancient and brand-new at the same time.
The True One is always fresh and new, and protects you like a mother and a father.
sach parmaysar nit navaa — the True One, always new. prabh rakhvaalay maaee baap — protector, mother and father in one.
