ਡੂਬੇ ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨੁ ਘਨ ਸਾਥ ॥
doobay naam bin ghan saath.
Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, huge numbers of companions have drowned.
ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਦੇ ਕਰਿ ਰਾਖੈ ਹਾਥ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
karan kaaran chit na aavai day kar raakhai haath. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Even if someone does not remember the Lord, the Cause of causes, still, the Lord reaches out with His hand, and saves him. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Without the Naam, many, many companions have gone under.
Even when someone forgets the One, the Cause of everything, the One reaches out a hand and holds them up.
Even when we forget, the One still reaches out a hand.
The rahao's tender heart: even when someone forgets the One entirely, the One still reaches out a hand and holds them up — grace that is not earned.
