Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One made your ears, your eyes, your nose. The One gave you a tongue to speak so easily.
The One kept you safe and warm before you were born, and by whose flow the very wind moves through the world.
The One who made your ears, eyes and voice is caring for you all the time.
Jin kan keetay akhee naak — the One who made your ears, eyes and nose. Jin jihvaa ditee bolay taat — who gave you a tongue that speaks so easily.
Jin man raakhi-aa agnee paa-ay pictures the One keeping us safe in the warmth of the womb, before we were born. Picture a baby snug inside, cared for before anyone could even see it. Vaajai pavan aakhai sabh jaa-ay — at the One's word, the wind blows everywhere. The verse ends huge: the same care that shaped your little ears moves the wind across the whole world.
Which part of your body are you most thankful to have been given?
