Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Lord of the World is my money, my belongings, my youth, and my way of doing things.
Day after day the One cares for my soul and my breath, and gives them peace. The One reaches out a hand and keeps the One's servant safe. The One stays with us always, and never leaves, not for a single moment.
The One is everything you own and everything you are, and never leaves your side.
Dhan maal joban jugat gopaal: money, belongings, youth and skill are all gopaal, the Lord of the World. Jee-a praan nit sukh partipaal: every day the One cares for soul and breath and brings them peace. Apnay daas ka-o day raakhai haath: the One gives a hand and keeps the servant safe. Nimakh na chhodai sad hee saath: not for the blink of an eye does the One let go.
Think of a parent holding a toddler's hand on a crowded street. The grip never loosens, all the way home.
Who or what has stayed with you through everything?
