Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your presence is the boat that carries us across the deep sea of the world; only You know Your own ways.
Whoever You mercifully keep beside You is carried, together with You, safely to the far shore.
Taran saagar bohith charan tumaaray — 'Your feet / Your presence are the boat to cross the ocean' — the Gauree crossing-image again, with the One as the vessel. Tum jaanhu apunee bhaatay — 'You know Your own ways' — the seeker doesn't demand to understand the method, only trusts it. The key line: kar kirpaa jis raakho sangay — those the One keeps sangay, in Its company, tay tay paar paraatay — they cross over. Salvation is not a solo swim; it is being kept beside the One, and crossing together. Spiritual nearness itself is the rescue the verse pictures.
When something felt too deep or too far to manage, who did you stay close to, to get through it?
