ਮੀਤਾ ਐਸੇ ਹਰਿ ਜੀਉ ਪਾਏ ॥
meetaa aisay har jee-o paa-ay.
O friend, such is the Dear Lord whom I have obtained.

He does not leave me, and He always keeps me company. Meeting the Guru, night and day, I sing His Praises. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Friend, such is the One I have found:
it does not leave me, it always keeps me company. Meeting the teaching, day and night I sing its praises.
Against every friend who departs, here is one companion who does not leave — the joy of a presence that will not walk away.
The Pause line rejoices in a companion who "does not leave me, and... always keeps me company." Against every relationship that ends and every friend who departs, here is one that stays. The joy of the shabad is fidelity — the discovery of a presence that will not walk away.
A Question to Sit With
What would it mean to you to have a companion who genuinely never leaves?
