ਬਿਸਨ ਮਹੇਸ ਸਿਧ ਮੁਨਿ ਇੰਦ੍ਰਾ ਕੈ ਦਰਿ ਸਰਨਿ ਪਰਉ ॥੧॥
bisan mahays siDh mun indraa kai dar saran para-o. ||1||
Vishnu, Shiva, the Siddhas, the silent sages and Indra - at whose door should I seek sanctuary? ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Vishnu, Shiva, the Siddhas with their great powers, the silent sages, and Indra, king of the gods: at whose door should I seek shelter?
Even the strongest need a door to turn to; asking where to rest is wise, not weak.
You may wonder where to turn for shelter, even after you have heard all the greatest names.
Bisan (Vishnu), Mahays (Shiva), the Siddhas, the mun or silent sages, and Indra: at whose door should a person seek shelter (saran para-o)? The question stays open here, and the close of the shabad answers it.
A Question to Sit With
Where do you turn when you need shelter or help?
