ਹਰਿ ਚਰਨ ਸਰਣ ਗੜ ਕੋਟ ਹਮਾਰੈ ॥
har charan saran garh kot hamaarai.
The Sanctuary of the Lord's Feet is my fortress and battlement.
ਕਾਲੁ ਕੰਟਕੁ ਜਮੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਨ ਬਿਦਾਰੈ ॥੩॥
kaal kantak jam tis na bidaarai. ||3||
The Messenger of Death, the torturer, cannot demolish it. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The shelter of the One is like a strong fortress with high walls around me.
Inside it, I am safe — nothing, not even my biggest fears, can shake those walls.
There is a shelter inside you that fear cannot break down.
har charan saran garh kot hamaarai — the shelter as garh (fort) and kot (rampart). SSK’s “Messenger of Death, the torturer, cannot demolish it” is rendered as unshakeable safety — even the largest fear cannot breach the walls.
A Question to Sit With
Where is your safest place, and what makes it feel that way?
