Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This One is a home for those who feel they have no one, and gentle to the humble.
This One is strong enough for anything, the steady shelter of the good-hearted.
This one says the One is a shelter made for anyone who feels they have no one.
Anaathah naath — the Master of those who have no master. It means a home for anyone whose heart feels homeless. Kirpaal deen — kind to the humble. Sammrith sant otaa-i-o — all-powerful, the shelter of the saints.
This verse is pure refuge. The One is there exactly for those who feel they belong nowhere and have no one to protect them. Think of the new kid at school who finds that someone has saved a seat just for them.
Where do you go, or who do you turn to, when you feel like you have no one?
