Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.

Remembering, remembering the One, I find peace — with every breath I hold the One close.

In this world and in whatever lies beyond, the One is my helper and companion; wherever I go, I am watched over and kept safe.

Something loving goes with you everywhere you go.
The deeper layer

Remembering the One brings peace, and the One goes with you everywhere.

Simra-o simar simar sukh paava-o — remembering, remembering, I find peace. It happens with every breath.

The One is sang sahaa-ee, a companion and helper, ih lok parlok, in this world and in whatever lies beyond. Jat kat mohi rakhvaalay — wherever I go, the One keeps me safe.

It is like a parent's hand holding yours in a crowd. It goes where you go. This is a Presence that travels with you everywhere.

A Question to Sit With

When you go somewhere new or nervous-making, what helps you feel accompanied?
