Singing the Fearless One Brings Unending Peace

ਤੁਮ ਗਾਵਹੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਕਾ ਸੋਹਿਲਾ ॥
tum gaavhu mayray nirbha-o kaa sohilaa.
Sing the Songs of Praise of my Fearless Lord.
ਹਉ ਵਾਰੀ ਜਾਉ ਜਿਤੁ ਸੋਹਿਲੈ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
ha-o vaaree jaa-o jit sohilai sadaa sukh ho-ay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I am a sacrifice to that Song of Praise which brings eternal peace. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Sing the praises of the One who knows no fear. I give myself to the song that brings a peace that never ends.

Singing of the Fearless One brings a peace that does not end.
The deeper layer

The Rahao. The One is nirbhau -- fearless (the word from the Mool Mantar). The song that praises the Fearless One brings lasting peace, because singing the Fearless makes the singer fearless too.

A Question to Sit With

Is there a song that makes you feel calm and unafraid? What is it?
