Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One reaches out a sheltering hand over the good.
The One stays with them, day and night.
With every breath, the One cherishes and cares for them.
And the harm others wish them quietly loses its power.
Sant kai oopar day-ay prabh haath — a hand held over the good like a roof. Saas saas partipaal — cherished with every breath, ceaseless care. The line about enemies 'losing their power' (raaj tay taal) is rendered so the emphasis falls on the good person's safety, not on anyone's punishment: ill-will aimed at them simply drains of its force. The One's protection is continuous, intimate, breath-by-breath.
Who is someone who watches over you steadily, day in and day out?
