Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who come for shelter at the feet of the Lord of the World cross over the frightening ocean of the world.
The One keeps the honor of the One's devotees. Nanak says: the One showers them with kindness, all on the One's own.
Come for shelter to the One, and you are carried across the hardest waters.
Charan saran: shelter at the feet. Bhav niDh paar: across the world-ocean. Paij raakhai: the One keeps the honor of its people. Aap har kirpaa karay: the One gives kindness of its own accord, never earned. Think of a lifeguard who swims out the moment someone calls. Refuge and kindness freely given are the constant Kalyaan note.
Where do you go when you just need to rest and be kept safe?
