Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are perfect and full of peace. With Your kindness, hold me steady and keep my honor safe.
Give me this gift: a warm love for good company, the kind of friends who lift you toward what is true.
And there, among them, let my tongue sing Your praises out loud, gladly.
Pooran parmesur — the perfect One, sukh-daa-ee, giver of peace. Maan raakho is a prayer to keep one's honor, one's dignity, intact. The specific gift requested is saadhoo sang — the company of the good — and within it the joy of singing praise aloud. In this raam naam raag, praise sung with the tongue is the practice itself, framed as glad and healing.
Who are the friends who lift you toward your better self?
