ਕਰਮੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਸਚੁ ਹਾਥਿ ਤੁਮਾਰੈ ॥
karam Dharam sach haath tumaarai.
You hold karma and Dharma in Your hands, O True Lord.
ਵੇਪਰਵਾਹ ਅਖੁਟ ਭੰਡਾਰੈ ॥
vayparvaah akhut bhandaarai.
O Independent Lord, Your treasures are inexhaustible.
ਤੂ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਕਿਰਪਾਲੁ ਸਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਪੇ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੪॥
too da-i-aal kirpaal sadaa parabh aapay mayl milaa-idaa. ||14||
You are forever kind and compassionate, God. You unite in Your Union. ||14||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the fairness of the world rests in the One's hands.
The One needs nothing and depends on no one, and the storehouse of good gifts never runs empty.
Always kind, always gentle, the One draws hearts close and makes them one.
The One's kindness is a storehouse that never empties.
'Vayparvaah' means carefree and self-sufficient; 'akhut bhandaar' is the inexhaustible treasury. The One holds karma and dharma yet gives without any anxiety of running short.
A Question to Sit With
When has someone's kindness felt like it would never run out?
