O my God, please protect and preserve Nanak in the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation; save him, and let him merge in You. ||8||6|| Chhakaa 1.
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Lord's Naam carries the whole world across. Join the Sangat, and remember the Naam.
Nanak says: keep me, keep me, my One. Keep me in the true Sangat, and let me merge into You.
Remembering the Naam in the Sangat carries the whole world across.
The Naam carries the whole world across, and the Sangat is where you remember it together.
Taarak: one who carries across, like a boat over a river. Lag sangat: join the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Raakh raakh: keep me, keep me. Chhakaa 1: the mark at the end that closes a set of six shabads.
