Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Dear One, You are my peace, my riches, my whole savings.

Keep me safe — this is my prayer to You. Whatever I ask for, I receive, because I trust my Beloved completely; meeting the perfect Teacher, all my fears simply left.

Deep trust turns asking into receiving.
The deeper layer

The pause-line names the One as sukh sampat raas — peace, wealth, and capital, all at once. Jo maaga-o so-ee paava-o flows from bharosaa, trust; the point is not magic wishes but a heart so aligned that it asks for what grace already gives. Mitio sagal andaysaa — every fear dispelled.

A Question to Sit With

Who is someone you trust so much that asking them feels easy?
