Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nothing and no one is like You; everything else comes and goes, but You stay.
When I settle into the flow of existence, my worries and doubts grow quiet.
The teaching clears away confusion and helps me speak of what can't quite be put into words, until what's real melts into what's real.
You make it all, and You take it all back. I accept the way You set things to flow.
True greatness isn't something I grab for myself; it comes through the teaching. And when everything else falls away, You are the one who stays beside me.
Nothing is like the One, and the One stays with you to the end.
Tum sar avar na ko-ay — no one is Your equal. Everything else comes and goes. The One stays, like the sun that is still there behind the clouds.
Gur bharam chukaa-ay akath kahaa-ay — the Guru clears away doubt and lets us speak the Unspoken. Bharam means doubt. Akath means what cannot be put into words. The Guru helps us say it anyway.
The close is a comfort, not a fear. Too man ant sakhaa-ee — You are the mind's companion at the very end. Sakhaa means a close friend.
When things around you keep changing, what stays steady for you?
