ਜਾ ਕਉ ਰਾਖਿ ਲੇਇ ਮੇਰਾ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਸੁਮਤਿ ਦੇਇ ਪੈ ਕਾਨੈ ॥
jaa ka-o raakh lay-ay mayraa su-aamee taa ka-o sumat day-ay pai kaanai.
Those whom my Lord and Master protects - a balanced wisdom comes to their ears.
ਤਾ ਕਉ ਕੋਈ ਅਪਰਿ ਨ ਸਾਕੈ ਜਾ ਕੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮਾਨੈ ॥੨॥
taa ka-o ko-ee apar na saakai jaa kee bhagat mayraa parabh maanai. ||2||
No one can equal them; their devotional worship is accepted by my God. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those my Master protects are given a balanced wisdom that comes to their ears.
No one can equal them, for my One accepts their loving devotion.
A calm, balanced mind is one of the quiet gifts of being cared for.
Those the One protects receive a calm, balanced wisdom.
Sumat (balanced wisdom) is given pai kaanai, into the ear: guidance received through deep listening. Bhagat maanai: their devotion is accepted. The protection here is inward, a settled mind that cannot be knocked over.
