Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

You are my hope, and You are my trust. I take Your Naam and keep it in my heart.

You are my strength. With You beside me, I am made beautiful and lifted up. Whatever You say, that is what I do.

Leaning on the One's strength, the heart grows light and glad.
The deeper layer

Put your hope and trust in the One, and the One's strength becomes yours.

Tumhree aas bharosaa tumhraa: You are my hope and my trust. Tumro bal tum sang suhaylay: You are my power, and in Your company I am made beautiful and at ease. Jo jo kahhu so-ee so-ee karnaa: I do whatever You say. It is a glad following, the way a dancer moves with the music.

A Question to Sit With

When has trusting someone made a hard thing feel lighter?
