Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਓਟ ਸਤਾਣੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਜੀਉ ਮੇਰੈ ॥
ot sataanee parabh jee-o mayrai.
I have the Almighty Support of my Dear Lord God.
ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਨ ਲਿਆਵਉ ਅਵਰ ਕਾਹੂ ਕਉ ਮਾਣਿ ਮਹਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੇਰੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
darisat na li-aava-o avar kaahoo ka-o maan mahat parabh tayrai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I do not look up to anyone else. My honor and glory are Yours, O God. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One, my dear Lord, is my mighty support, and nothing can knock it over.
I look to no one else. My honor and my glory are Yours, O One.
Lean on the support that cannot be shaken, and stop scanning the crowd.
Ot sataanee is the almighty support, the backing that does not give way. Maan mahat is honor and glory, handed straight back to the One (prabh tayrai) — and that is what keeps a person from both arrogance and anxious approval-seeking.
