Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In this whole age, it is the Name that carries a heart across. From the Teacher rises a reflective, thoughtful turning-over of the Word.
Turning the Word over, one comes to love the Name — and the one the One is kind to receives it. In easy peace they sing the praises day and night, and all their missteps fall away.
Everyone belongs to You, and You belong to everyone; I am Yours, and You are mine. In this whole age, it is the Name that carries a heart across.
The refrain jug meh raam naam nistaaraa places the whole hope in the Name. The warm center is the line sabh ko tayraa too sabhnaa kaa, ha-o tayraa too hamaaraa — all belong to You and You to all; I am Yours and You are mine. This is belonging without hierarchy: the same One holds everyone, so no one is closer by rank. gur tay upjai sabad veechaaraa — reflective contemplation of the Word arises from the Teacher; loving the Name grows out of thinking it through, not away from it.
What does it feel like to know you belong to something, and it belongs to you too?
