Sorat'h, Fifth Mehl:
ਮੇਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਰਖਵਾਲਾ ਹੋਆ ॥
mayraa satgur rakhvaalaa ho-aa.
My True Guru is my Savior and Protector.
ਧਾਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਹਾਥ ਦੇ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਗੋਵਿਦੁ ਨਵਾ ਨਿਰੋਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Dhaar kirpaa parabh haath day raakhi-aa har govid navaa niro-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Showering us with His Mercy and Grace, God extended His Hand, and saved Hargobind, who is now safe and secure. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My Teacher has become my protector and guardian.
Pouring out mercy, the One reached out His hand and kept the child safe — well again, whole and sound.
A protecting hand can make you feel brand-new again.
The shabad opens on its pause-line. Har govid navaa niro-aa — the child (Hargobind) is “brand-new and healthy,” recovered from illness; rendered here simply as “well again, whole and sound.” Haath day raakhi-aa, the protecting hand, is this cluster’s recurring image.
A Question to Sit With
