ਭੈਰਉ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
ਕੋਟਿ ਮਨੋਰਥ ਆਵਹਿ ਹਾਥ ॥
kot manorath aavahi haath.
It brings millions of desires to fulfillment.
ਜਮ ਮਾਰਗ ਕੈ ਸੰਗੀ ਪਾਂਥ ॥੧॥
jam maarag kai sangee paaNth. ||1||
On the Path of Death, It will go with you and help you. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Naam brings millions of wishes into my hands.

On the road of death, at the end of life, it goes along with me as a companion and helps me.

The Naam is a companion who walks the whole road with you.
The deeper layer

The Naam fills countless wishes, and it walks beside you even on the last road.

Kot manorath: millions of wishes, fulfilled through the Naam. On jam maarag, the road of death, it walks as sangee, a companion. That last road is one every living thing walks, and the Naam goes along like a friend at your side.

A Question to Sit With

What makes a hard journey easier — the destination, or the company?
