Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's love walks beside me always — it never leaves. The Kind One, whole and complete, holds and cares for everyone, leaving no one out.
There is a love that walks beside you always and cares for everyone.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center the whole shabad turns on. It answers the longing of the first verse. Har kee pareet sadaa sang chaalai — the One's love goes with you forever. Da-i-aal purakh pooran paratipaalai — the kind and complete One cares for all.
So the constant Friend the heart was looking for is this love that is always near. It is like your shadow on a sunny day: wherever you walk, it walks too. And it leaves no one out.
What would it feel like to know a love is always right beside you?
