Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Good things start to be said, and the company of people who love the One grows dear to me.
I am so grateful to the One who quietly protected my honor and made things whole.
When you have been quietly looked after, thank-you just spills out.
Jai jai kaar karai sabh — everyone cheers and says good things. Sangat saadh pi-aaree — the company of good people has become dear to me. It is not just useful to be with them. It is loved.
Jin pooran paij savaaree — the One fully protected my honor. Paij means honor, a person's good name and dignity. This comes up often in these shabads. The One quietly guards a person's dignity, especially when they could not guard it themselves. Think of a friend who steps in when you trip on stage, and makes it look like part of the show.
Sad balihaar — I give myself gladly, forever. It is the natural overflow of feeling so cared for.
Who has stood up for you or protected you when you could not do it yourself?
