Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Here and everywhere after, You keep me safe. That protection is always steady. Only, it takes a certain clear-sightedness to notice it — and that clarity itself is a gift of the teaching. A few come to see it; it is there for all.
Here and hereafter, the One keeps me safe, and grace helps some people see it.
Eehaa oohaa tum rakhay — here and hereafter, You protect me. The speaker is talking to the One. It is a personal word of trust, not a rule laid down for everyone.
Gur kirpaa tay ko lakhay — by the Guru's grace, some come to see this. The verse leaves the word "some" just as it is. It says only that this seeing comes through grace. Think of a friend who points out the stars you have walked under all your life without looking up. The invitation is to become someone who sees.
What good thing has been protecting you all along that you only recently noticed?
