No One Can Reach You Now

ਤੁਝਹਿ ਨ ਜੋਹੈ ਕੋ ਮੀਤ ਜਨ ਤੂੰ ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਦਾਸ ॥
tujheh na johai ko meet jan tooN gur kaa daas.
No one can threaten you now, O my humble friend, for you are the slave of the Guru.
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮਿ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਦੇ ਅਪਨੇ ਹਾਥ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
paarbarahm too raakhi-aa day apnay haath. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Supreme Lord God reached out with His Hand and saved you. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

No one can threaten you now, my friend, for you are the Guru's servant.

The Supreme One reached out with His own hand and kept you safe.

When you belong to the Guru, harm cannot reach you.
The deeper layer

The Guru's servant is safe, held in the Supreme One's own hand.

tujheh na johai ko meet jan, tooN gur kaa daas — no one can threaten you now; paarbarahm too raakhiaa, day apnay haath — the Supreme kept you with its own hand. This is the Rahau, spoken as reassurance.

A Question to Sit With

What makes you feel safe when you feel got-at?
