Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the beings and creatures in the water, on the land and in the sky — wherever they are, You are with them all.
Nanak says: by the Guru's grace, please keep Your humble servant safe. Nanak stirs up the sweet taste of the One and drinks it in.
The One is with every living thing, everywhere.
"jaytay jee-a jant jal thal mahee-al" — all beings in water, on land and in the sky. "jatar katar too sarab jee-aa" — wherever they are, You are in them all. No creature is left out.
Then comes a prayer: "raakh lay jan ka-o" — please keep Your servant safe. By the Guru's grace, Nanak tastes har ras, the sweetness of the One. He stirs it and drinks it deeply. Think of stirring honey into warm milk and drinking every drop. The shabad began by questioning empty show. It ends with warm belonging for everyone.
What would change if you remembered that every creature is held by the same One?
