My mind has grasped Your protection alone. Other than You, I have no place of rest at all. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your Name, God, is the boat that carries us across.
My mind holds on to Your shelter alone.
Apart from You, I have no place of rest at all.
When you rest in one shelter, you stop searching everywhere else.
Taran taaran — the boat that ferries across. Ekaa saran gahee: my mind holds one shelter. Doojaa naahee thaa-o: there is no second place to rest. Trusting one shelter steadies everything else.
