Gauree Gwaarayree, Fifth Mehl:
ਤਿਸ ਕੀ ਸਰਣਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਭਉ ਸੋਗੁ ॥

In His Sanctuary, there is no fear or sorrow.
ਉਸ ਤੇ ਬਾਹਰਿ ਕਛੂ ਨ ਹੋਗੁ ॥

Without Him, nothing at all can be done.
ਤਜੀ ਸਿਆਣਪ ਬਲ ਬੁਧਿ ਬਿਕਾਰ ॥

I have renounced clever tricks, power and intellectual corruption.
ਦਾਸ ਅਪਨੇ ਕੀ ਰਾਖਨਹਾਰ ॥੧॥
daas apnay kee raakhanhaar. ||1||
God is the Protector of His servant. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In the One's shelter there is no fear and no sorrow. Without it, nothing at all gets done. I have given up my clever tricks, my power-seeking, my crookedness. The One protects its servant.
In the One's shelter there is no fear or sorrow -- so set down your clever tricks.
The Sanctuary is free of fear and sorrow (cf. the Fearless One). Guru Arjan renounces cleverness and power -- the very things shown to be empty in the happiness-shabad -- and rests in protection (Gurprasad). Refuge replaces self-reliance.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you feel completely safe? What is that shelter for you?
