Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
On my writing tablet, I write the Naam of the One, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the World.
Those caught up in loving something other than the One are trapped in death's net.
The True Guru looks after me and keeps me going. The One, the Giver of peace, is always with me.
With the Naam on your slate and the True Guru looking after you, the Giver of peace is always with you.
This is the old story of Prahlaad, a boy devoted to the One, whose father, the king Harnaakhash, demanded that everyone worship him instead. Mayree patee-aa likhahu: on the wooden slate where a child practices letters, Prahlaad writes the Naam. Doojai bhaa-ay faathay jam jaalaa: those caught in love of something other than the One are trapped in jam jaal, death's net. Satgur karay mayree partipaalaa: the True Guru looks after me. Har sukh-daataa mayrai naalaa: the Giver of peace is with me.
Whose name or words would you want to keep close when you feel worried?
