ਪੂਰੀ ਰਹੀ ਜਾ ਪੂਰੈ ਰਾਖੀ ॥
pooree rahee jaa poorai raakhee.
One's honor remains perfect, when the Perfect Lord preserves it.
ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਕੀ ਸਰਣਿ ਜਨ ਤਾਕੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
paarbarahm kee saran jan taakee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
His servant takes to the Sanctuary of the Supreme Lord God. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your true worth stays whole when the complete One keeps it safe. The one who takes shelter in that boundless Oneness is held together, come what may.
Your true worth is kept whole when you rest in the larger Oneness.
The Rahao. Pooree rahee jaa poorai raakhee -- honor stays intact when the Perfect One preserves it. Saran -- shelter, sanctuary. The pause line grounds the shabad's confidence: this wholeness is not something you manufacture and defend, but something kept safe when you rest in the larger Oneness.
