Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Know that everything is in the One's hands.

My Lord is the Master of those who have no one.

The One's Name is Breaker of Pain. Sing the One's praises, and you will find peace.

Everything rests in good hands.
The deeper layer

Everything rests in the One's hands, and the One stands by anyone who feels they have no one.

Sabh kichh jaanhu tis kai haath: know that everything is in the One's hands. Anaath ko naath: master of the masterless, the one who claims the unclaimed. Dukh bhanjan is a beloved Name: breaker of pain. Peace comes through gun gaa-o, singing the One's praises.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you trust that things will turn out okay?
