Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Guru, the Lord of the world, showed mercy and kept my brother safe.

I rest in the shelter of the One who is always my help.

The One who helps is always ready — no waiting.
The deeper layer

Grace keeps our loved ones safe, and the One is always there to shelter us.

gur govind kirpaa karee, raakhiaa mayraa bhaa-ee — mercy shown, a brother kept safe; ham tis kee sarnaagatee, jo sadaa sahaa-ee — shelter with the ever-ready helper. This is the Rahau, born from gratitude for a loved one.

A Question to Sit With

Who have you been most grateful to see kept safe?
