Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is the One who shapes everything there is, and beside that One there is nothing else.
Whoever is drawn to truth is drawn by that same One — and living close to the Name brings a calm that carries you onward.
The One made everything, and there is nothing apart from the One.
The shabad closes with pure oneness. Tis bin doojaa avar na ko-ay — without the One, there is no other at all. Think of the ocean and its waves. Every wave is still the ocean.
Jis sach laa-ay so-ee laagai — the person joined to Truth is the one the One joins to it. This echoes the final note of the shabad just before this one.
Naanak naam sadaa sukh aagai — the peace of the Name is a steadiness that goes with you into whatever comes next.
What helps you feel calm and steady when you do not know what comes next?
