ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਉਪਜੈ ਤਿਸ ਤੇ ਬਿਨਸੈ ਅੰਤੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਖਾਈ ॥੪॥
jis tay upjai tis tay binsai antay naam sakhaa-ee. ||4||
By Him we are created, and by Him we are destroyed; in the end, the Naam will be our only help and support. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
We come from the One, and to the One we return.
In the end, the Naam is the friend who stays with us and holds us up.
The Name is the one thing that stays with you all the way.
Jis tay upjai tis tay binsai — from the One all arises and to the One it returns. Ante naam sakhaa-ee: at the last, the Name is the one companion. Not a threat about endings, but reassurance about what endures and travels with the soul.
