Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Keep the One in mind, day and night, steadily.
This human life is a rare and precious chance — and turning toward the One is how you make the most of it.
This one means life is a precious chance, and remembering the One is how we make the most of it.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad.
maaDhvay bhaj din nit rainee — remember the One every day and every night. Din means day, and rainee means night.
janam padaarath jeet har sarnee — win the treasure of this human life in the One's shelter. Janam padaarath means the precious gift of being born. Think of a big game you have trained hard for. You want to play your best. This line is about opportunity. It is an invitation, not a warning.
What is one thing you would love to make sure you do with this life?
