simrahi nar naaree aasramaa.
Men and women, throughout the four stages of life, meditate in remembrance on You.
ਸਿਮਰਹਿ ਜਾਤਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਭਿ ਵਰਨਾ ॥
simrahi jaat jot sabh varnaa.
All social classes and souls of all races meditate in remembrance on You.
ਸਿਮਰਹਿ ਗੁਣੀ ਚਤੁਰ ਸਭਿ ਬੇਤੇ ਸਿਮਰਹਿ ਰੈਣੀ ਅਰੁ ਦਿਨਾ ॥੬॥
simrahi gunee chatur sabh baytay simrahi rainee ar dinaa. ||6||
All the virtuous, clever and wise people meditate in remembrance; night and day meditate in remembrance. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Women and men, at every stage of life, hold You in mind.
People of every class, every color, every background — all turn toward You, none left out.
The wise and the clever remember You, and so do the night and the day themselves.
Women and men, every class and color, all turn toward the same One — no one left out.
Women and men through every stage of life; every class, color, and background; the wise and clever; night and day themselves — all turn toward the One. This is the raag's leveling note at full volume: everyone belongs equally, no rank above another, women and men named together.
A Question to Sit With
What does it feel like to know everyone belongs equally, with no one ranked above another?
