ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਲਿ ਮਾਤਾ ਉਦਰਿ ਰਾਖੈ ਲਗਨਿ ਦੇਤ ਨ ਸੇਕ ॥
partipaal maataa udar raakhai lagan dayt na sayk.
He nourishes and preserves mortals in the womb of the mother, so that the fiery heat does not hurt them.
ਸੋਈ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਈਹਾ ਰਾਖੈ ਬੂਝੁ ਬੁਧਿ ਬਿਬੇਕ ॥੧॥
so-ee su-aamee eehaa raakhai boojh buDh bibayk. ||1||
That Lord and Master protects us here. Understand this in your mind. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Before you were born, you were already cared for — kept safe and warm, protected from every harm.
The same One who held you then holds you now; let your thoughtful mind take that in.
The One who held you before birth holds you still.
Held safe in the womb before birth, protected from harm; the same One protects now. The womb is a picture of comfort — grace that comes before we can ask.
A Question to Sit With
When have you felt cared for even before you asked?
