Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

You are my shelter, perfect Divine Guru.

There is no other beside You.

You are all-powerful, the perfect Supreme One.

Only the one whose karma is complete remembers You.

There is one shelter that never fails.
The deeper layer

Tayree saran — Your shelter. Samrath pooran paarbarahm: all-powerful and complete. So dhi-aa-ay pooraa jis karam: the one whose karma is complete is the one who remembers You.

A Question to Sit With

Where do you go when you need to feel safe?
