Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One looks after you always, cares for you day by day, and holds you close with love, like a hug.
If we forgot such a One, how would the world find its life at all?
The shabad closes on pure tenderness: saar samaalai nit pratipaalai praym sahit gal laavai — the One watches over, sustains daily, and gal laavai — draws you into an embrace. This is the warmest note in the whole run: the vast One of fire-in-wood and light-in-all is also the One who hugs the soul close. The final line — tumray bisrat jagat jeevan kaisay paavai — is not a threat but a wonder: forgetting the very source of life, where would life even come from?
Who holds you close when you need it — and how could you be that for someone else?
