Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is my only support, so I have let go of every other hope.
The One is powerful above all, complete, a whole treasure of goodness.
Lean on the one support that holds. Ayk tayk govind kee — the Lord of the Universe is my only support. Govind is a name for the One who cares for all the world. Ti-aagee an aas — I have let go of all other hopes.
Think of leaning your whole weight on a strong wall instead of a wobbly chair.
Then the verse says why this support is safe. Sabh oopar samrath prabh pooran guntaas — God is all-powerful, above all, a full treasure of goodness. The shabad opens with trust placed in one place only.
What is something steady you can lean on when things wobble?
