You alone are the king.
ਤਉ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

By Your Grace, I have found peace. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You alone, only You, are the One.
You alone, only You, are the King.
By Your grace, I have found peace.
There is only One — and its kindness is already here.
There is only One, and peace comes as a gift.
This is the rahaa-o, the pause line. Aikai aikai ayk toohee — the drumbeat of Oneness, the only reality (Ik Onkar). Peace comes ta-o kirpaa tay — by grace, which is received, not earned.
A Question to Sit With
When have you felt a peace that seemed like a gift rather than something you made?
