Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My mind stays held close to the One.
From the very beginning to the very end, the One is always my helper. How blessed I am in such a friend!
My mind fills up with delight, amazed at the One's greatness. Remembering, remembering, I'm full of joy, and the One — perfect in every way — has kept my honor whole.
From the very beginning to the very end, the One is my friend.
This verse holds the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. Aad ant parabh sadaa sahaa-ee — at the start and at the end, the One is always my helper. Aad means beginning and ant means end, so this covers a whole life. It is like a friend who has been with you since you were small and will still be there when you are old.
Man bilaas bha-ay — the mind blooms with delight at the achraj, the wonder, of the One's greatness. The verse ends in thanks, not in asking.
Who has been steady in your life 'from beginning to end'? How does that kind of steadiness feel?
