ਤਤੀ ਵਾਉ ਨ ਤਾ ਕਉ ਲਾਗੈ ॥
tatee vaa-o na taa ka-o laagai.
Even the hot wind does not touch one
ਸਿਮਰਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਜਾਗੈ ॥
simrat naam an-din jaagai.
who remains awake in meditative remembrance, night and day.
ਅਨਦ ਬਿਨੋਦ ਕਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਮਾਇਆ ਸੰਗਿ ਨ ਤਾਲਕਾ ॥੧੦॥
anad binod karay har simran tis maa-i-aa sang na taalkaa. ||10||
He delights and enjoys meditative remembrance on the Lord; he has no attachment to Maya. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Not even the hottest, harshest wind can touch the one
who stays awake and remembering, through the day and through the night.
That heart delights in the One and stays free of the pull of grabbing at the world.
A heart that stays warm inside is not scorched by the world's hot winds.
'Taatee vaa-o na laagai' (no hot wind touches) is a recurring landmark of shelter across the Guru Granth Sahib: the remembering heart is untouched by the scorching winds of trouble.
