Verse 2 of 5

You Are My Only Support

ਨਾਮ ਧਾਰੀ ਸਰਨਿ ਤੇਰੀ ॥
naam Dhaaree saran tayree.
I enshrine the Naam, the Name of the Lord, within; I seek Your Sanctuary, Lord.
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਦਇਆਲ ਟੇਕ ਮੇਰੀ ॥੧॥
parabh da-i-aal tayk mayree. ||1||
O Merciful Lord God, You are my only Support. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I keep the Naam inside my heart, and I seek Your shelter, Lord.

Kind One, You are my only support.

Holding what is true inside you, and resting in shelter, is enough to hold you up.
The deeper layer

With the Naam inside you and the One's shelter around you, the One is your only support.

Naam Dhaaree: keeping the Naam within. Saran tayree: Your shelter. Tayk mayree: You are my support. A plain, warm resting place: the Naam within, the shelter around.

A Question to Sit With

What is the one support you lean on most?
