ਦੇਹੀ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ॥
dayhee andar naam nivaasee.
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides deep within the body.
ਆਪੇ ਕਰਤਾ ਹੈ ਅਬਿਨਾਸੀ ॥
aapay kartaa hai abhinaasee.
The Creator Lord is eternal and imperishable.
ਨਾ ਜੀਉ ਮਰੈ ਨ ਮਾਰਿਆ ਜਾਈ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਖੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੩॥
naa jee-o marai na maari-aa jaa-ee kar daykhai sabad rajaa-ee hay. ||13||
The soul does not die, and it cannot be killed; God creates and watches over all. Through the Word of the Shabad, His Will is manifest. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name lives deep inside this very body of mine.
The Maker is forever and can never end.
And the truest part of me does not die and cannot be harmed; the One creates and watches over all of it with love.
The truest part of me does not die and cannot be harmed.
The soul does not die and cannot be killed (naa jee-o marai na maari-aa jaa-ee). With the Naam dwelling within the body, this is a clear, steady comfort about death.
