Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
With Your support, I get through this dark and difficult age.
With Your support, I sing Your praises.
With Your support, death cannot even touch me.
With Your support, my tangles fall away.
With the right support you can stand steady in hard times.
Leaning on the One, you get through hard times, you sing, and your tangles come loose; even death cannot touch you.
Tayree tayk: with Your support. The words come back line after line, like a hand on a railing. Kal maahi: in the dark age, Kali Yuga, a time of confusion. Na pohai kaal: death cannot touch me. Binsai janjaal: the tangles fall away.
