ਜਿਥੈ ਅਉਘਟੁ ਆਇ ਬਨਤੁ ਹੈ ਪ੍ਰਾਣੀ ॥
jithai a-ughat aa-ay banat hai paraanee.
Wherever the mortal is confronted with difficulty,
ਤਿਥੈ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਈਐ ਸਾਰਿੰਗਪਾਣੀ ॥
tithai har Dhi-aa-ee-ai saaringpaanee.
there he should meditate on the Lord of the Universe.
ਜਿਥੈ ਪੁਤ੍ਰੁ ਕਲਤ੍ਰੁ ਨ ਬੇਲੀ ਕੋਈ ਤਿਥੈ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਛਡਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੧॥
jithai putar kalatar na baylee ko-ee tithai har aap chhadaa-idaa. ||11||
Where there are no children, spouse or friends, there the Lord Himself comes to the rescue. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wherever a hard time comes, remember the One who holds the whole world.
Where there is no child, no husband or wife, no friend, the One comes and sets you free.
Where no one else can help, the One comes to the rescue.
Jithai a-ughat aa-ay banat hai — wherever the steep, difficult place comes, there remember saaringpaanee, the sustainer of all. The comfort is direct: jithai putar kalatar na baylee ko-ee — where no child, spouse, or friend can help, tithai har aap chhadaa-idaa, the One comes to the rescue. You are never finally alone.
