Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is my closest friend, my dearest companion, my everything. The Name of my Master — that is the one support I lean my whole self upon.
This one says the One is every kind of friend you could want, all in one.
This is the closing line, signed with the name Nanak. Meet saajan sakhaa parabh ayk — the One is meet, a friend; saajan, a dear companion; sakhaa, a comrade who is always there. All of them gather into the One.
Every kind of friendship we long for is found in one place. Think of a best friend, a teammate, and a trusted grown-up, all in one.
Naam su-aamee kaa naanak tayk — the Name of the Master is Nanak's tayk. A tayk is the prop you lean your whole weight on, like a walking stick on a steep path.
What would it mean to have one friend who is also your steadiest support of all?
