Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I come to Your shelter; You are my only hope, my companion, my truest friend.
Keep me safe, kind Protector — I belong to Your household.
The One is our shelter, our hope, and our best friend.
The shabad ends by calling the One sajan suhaylay, the friend who brings ease — the best friend. The feeling is warm, not fearful. It is full of shelter, hope, friendship, and belonging. It is like a best friend's house where you are always welcome, day or night.
naanak ghar kay golay — Nanak belongs to Your household. The old words speak of someone who serves in the house. The heart of it is closeness: being part of the family home.
Who is a friend who feels like home, where you always belong?
