Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਅਪਨਾ ਮੀਤੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਗਾਈਐ ॥
apnaa meet su-aamee gaa-ee-ai.
Sing of your Lord and Master, your Best Friend.
ਆਸ ਨ ਅਵਰ ਕਾਹੂ ਕੀ ਕੀਜੈ ਸੁਖਦਾਤਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਧਿਆਈਐ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
aas na avar kaahoo kee keejai sukh-daata parabh Dhi-aa-ee-ai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Do not place your hopes in anyone else; meditate on God, the Giver of peace. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sing of the One, your Master and your own friend.
Put your hope in no one else. Keep the One in mind, the Giver of peace.
The One who holds the whole world is also your nearest friend.
Su-aamee means Master and meet means friend — set in the same breath, so the One is never a distant ruler but the friend closest to you. Sukh-daata is the Giver of peace; to dhi-aa-ee-ai is to hold that One steadily in mind.
A Question to Sit With
Who do you turn to first when something wonderful or something hard happens — and what would it feel like to share it with the One?
