Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
This is simply how it goes, even with the people we love the most, their care has an edge, a limit.
And so, gently: at the very last, the One who stays close is the Dear One, the love woven into everything.
Keep that Friend near now, and there will be no last moment when you are alone.
ih biDh ko bi-uhaar banio hai — this is the way of things; ant baar... bin har jee ko-oo kaam na aa-io — at the final hour none avails but the Dear One. The last line of the whole Mehl 9 Sorath block: a calm, trusting close. Not fear of death but reassurance — the One is the companion who never reaches a limit.
What would it feel like to carry a friendship that nothing can take away?
