ਕਹਿ ਕੰਬੀਰ ਕੋਊ ਸੰਗ ਨ ਸਾਥ ॥
kahi kambeer ko-oo sang na saath.
Says Kabir, I have no friend or companion.
ਜਲ ਥਲ ਰਾਖਨ ਹੈ ਰਘੁਨਾਥ ॥੩॥੧੦॥੧੮॥
jal thal raakhan hai raghunaath. ||3||10||18||
On the water, and on the land, the Lord is my Protector. ||3||10||18||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: I have no friend or companion.
On the water and on the land, the One is my protector.
Even when no one stands beside you, the One is your protector.
On water and on land, everywhere, the One protects you.
Ko-oo sang na saath: no friend or companion in the worldly sense. Jal thal raakhan hai raghunaath: the One protects "on water and on land," everywhere. Kabir's steadiness rests on a shelter that is always present. Raghunaath is a name of the One, from the Rama tradition, used with devotion.
