ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਾ ਜਪੁ ਜਾਪਿ ॥
aath pahar parabh kaa jap jaap.
Twenty-four hours a day, chant God's Chant.
ਨਾਨਕ ਰਾਖਾ ਹੋਆ ਆਪਿ ॥੪॥੨॥੫੮॥
naanak raakhaa ho-aa aap. ||4||2||58||
O Nanak, He Himself shall save you. ||4||2||58||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All day and all night, chant the One's chant.
Nanak says: the One will keep you safe.
Keep what matters close, and let yourself feel held.
Remember the One through the whole day, and the One becomes your keeper: raakhaa ho-aa aap.
Aath pahar prabh kaa jap jaap means remembrance through all eight watches of the day. The close is not a warning but an assurance of safety.
A Question to Sit With
What makes you feel safe and looked after?
