Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl:
ਰਾਖਿ ਲੀਏ ਅਪਨੇ ਜਨ ਆਪ ॥
raakh lee-ay apnay jan aap.
He Himself has saved His humble servant.
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੀਨੋ ਬਿਨਸਿ ਗਏ ਸਭ ਸੋਗ ਸੰਤਾਪ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
kar kirpaa har har naam deeno binas ga-ay sabh sog santaap. ||1|| rahaa-o.
In His Mercy, the Lord, Har, Har, has blessed me with His Name, and all my pains and afflictions have been dispelled. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One itself has kept its own people safe.
In kindness, the One gave me the Naam, and every sorrow and worry that weighed on me melted away.
Sometimes you are kept safe before you even know to ask.
raakh lee-ay apnay jan aap — He Himself kept His own. sog santaap binas ga-ay — griefs and afflictions dispelled once the Name is set in the heart.
A Question to Sit With
When has a worry lifted so quietly you barely noticed it go?
