ਓਇ ਸਾਜਨ ਓਇ ਮੀਤ ਪਿਆਰੇ ॥
o-ay saajan o-ay meet pi-aaray.
They are my companions, and they are my dear friends,
ਜੋ ਹਮ ਕਉ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਚਿਤਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jo ham ka-o har naam chitaaray. ||1|| rahaa-o.
who inspire me to remember the Lord's Name. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
These are my true companions, my dearest friends:
the ones who nudge me to keep the One in mind.
A true friend is one who helps you remember what matters most.
The Rahao defines real friendship: jo ham ka-o har naam chitaaray — a friend is one who helps you remember what matters. Not the friend who flatters, but the one who quietly points you home. This reframes friendship itself as a spiritual gift.
A Question to Sit With
Which of your friends brings out the best, truest part of you?
