Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the kind One is on your side, everyone gathers close, glad to help.
Nanak says: greatness rests with the Guru, forever and ever.
When the kind One is on your side, the whole world becomes your friend.
Jaa kaa ang da-i-aal parabh taa kay sabh daas — whoever has the merciful One on their side, everyone becomes their own. Daas means servant. Here it means that people gather close, glad to help. Think of a team where the kindest coach believes in you. Suddenly everyone is on your side.
Then: sadaa sadaa vadi-aa-ee-aa naanak gur paas — greatness rests forever with the Guru. Greatness is received, quietly, by staying near the Guru.
When have you felt like something bigger was on your side?
