ka-un darai dar kis kaa ho-ay. ||4||
Why should he be afraid? What should he ever fear? ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you belong to the One who holds all power, you are safe in a way nothing can undo.
Stay close, under that shelter, and you are forgiven your stumbles and lifted up. There is nothing and no one higher than the One -- so what is there to be afraid of?
When you belong to what holds everything, fear loses its grip.
saahib daadhaa -- the all-powerful protector to whom one belongs. rahai sarnaa-ee -- staying in shelter; aapay bakhsay -- forgiveness given freely, grace not earned. ka-un darai, dar kis kaa ho-ay -- "who is afraid, and of what?" -- the nirbhau (fearlessness) of the Mool Mantar, arriving here as the natural fruit of belonging to the One.
