Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every life, every breath, and everything the world calls wealth is already Yours.
So know this always: the One is never far — always close at hand.
Everything belongs to the One, and so the One is always near.
Jee-a jahaan paraan Dhan tayraa — all beings, every breath, and all the world's wealth are Yours. Paraan means breath, life itself. Naanak jaan sadaa har nayraa — know that the One is always close at hand.
This answers the whole prayer. Earlier came the burning sea and the hunger that never ends. Now comes belonging, and nearness. It is like a child in a crowd who looks up and finds a parent's hand already there.
How would today feel different if you remembered that something loving is always near?
