Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every creature that breathes belongs to You, and You look after each one with care.
Your greatness leaves me amazed, and so I keep the Name close all through my day.
The One who made everything leaves out no one — including you.
sabh jee-a tayray — all beings are Yours; achraj vadiaaee — wondrous, marvellous greatness; nit naam dhiaaee — ever meditate on the Name. The wonder of a care that leaves out no creature.
