ਜਹਾ ਜਹਾ ਧੂਅ ਨਾਰਦੁ ਟੇਕੇ ਨੈਕੁ ਟਿਕਾਵਹੁ ਮੋਹਿ ॥
jahaa jahaa Dhoo-a naarad taykay naik tikaavahu mohi.
Please place me where You placed Dhroo and Naarad, O my Master.
ਤੇਰੇ ਨਾਮ ਅਵਿਲੰਬਿ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਜਨ ਉਧਰੇ ਨਾਮੇ ਕੀ ਨਿਜ ਮਤਿ ਏਹ ॥੨॥੩॥
tayray naam avilamb bahut jan uDhray naamay kee nij mat ayh. ||2||3||
With the Support of Your Name, so many have been saved; this is Naam Dayv's understanding. ||2||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Set me where all those stand who leaned their whole weight on Your Name.
So many have been carried by that support — let me be carried too.
Countless people have been carried by leaning on the One — you can lean there too.
The verse names figures from the old stories who held to the divine and were held in return. Rather than the details, what matters is the pattern Namdev points to: tayray naam avilamb bahut jan udhray — resting on the Name, countless people have been carried across. His nij mat, his own settled understanding, is simply this: I want to stand among them. It closes the reaching hand of the rahau with quiet confidence.
A Question to Sit With
Who has trusted something bigger than themselves in a way you admire?
