Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Here and everywhere ahead, the One is my protector, gentle with anyone who feels small.

In every single heart, a beautiful Word is quietly sounding, if you grow still enough to hear it.

The same beautiful Word hums inside every heart, including yours.
The deeper layer

aithai othai rakhvaalaa — protector here and beyond; deen daiaalaa — tender to the humble; ghat ghat sabad subhaakhe — the Word sounding in every heart.

A Question to Sit With

If a beautiful Word were sounding in you right now, what would help you notice it?
