ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਧਾਰਿ ਲੀਨੋ ਲੜਿ ਲਾਇ ॥
darisat Dhaar leeno larh laa-ay.
Bestowing His Glance of Grace, He attaches us to the hem of His robe.
ਹਰਿ ਚਰਣ ਗਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਣਾਇ ॥੪॥੨੨॥੨੮॥
har charan gahay naanak sarnaa-ay. ||4||22||28||
Grasping the Lord's Feet, O Nanak, we enter His Sanctuary. ||4||22||28||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
With one kind glance, the One reaches out and lets me hold on, the way a child grips a parent’s sleeve.
Holding tight like that, I step into a shelter where I am safe.
You are allowed to hold on tight to what keeps you safe.
darisat Dhaar leeno larh laa-ay — a glance of grace attaches one to the larh (hem of the robe). har charan gahay naanak sarnaa-ay — grasping the feet, entering saran. The child-and-parent image of grace. ||4||22||28||.
A Question to Sit With
Whose hand or sleeve did you hold onto when you were small — and who do you hold now?
