Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I could never describe how great You are; next to You I feel small and unknowing, still learning, still finding my way.
Hold me gently anyway, my Master. I may not understand much, but I have come and placed myself right here, inside Your shelter, and that is where I want to stay.
ha-o moorakh mugaDh neechaan is a cascade of self-diminishing terms, rendered gently as small, unknowing, still-learning (per the wellbeing rule that turns self-abasement into empty-handedness). sarnaagat pa-i-aa — the turn to sanctuary is the shabad’s resolution: not worthiness but refuge-taking is what opens grace. This closes the whole Ghar 6 and 7 set (||24||).
Where is the place, or who is the person, that feels like shelter to you?
