ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਕਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਲਾ ॥
paarbarahm karay partipaalaa.
The Supreme Lord God cherishes and nurtures me.
ਸਦ ਜੀਅ ਸੰਗਿ ਰਖਵਾਲਾ ॥
sad jee-a sang rakhvaalaa.
He is always with me, the Protector of my soul.
ਹਰਿ ਦਿਨੁ ਰੈਨਿ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਗਾਈਐ ॥
har din rain keertan gaa-ee-ai.
Singing the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises day and night,
ਬਹੁੜਿ ਨ ਜੋਨੀ ਪਾਈਐ ॥੩॥
bahurh na jonee paa-ee-ai. ||3||
I shall not be consigned to reincarnation again. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One cares for me and raises me up.
He is always with me, guarding my soul, so I sing His praise through day and night, and the restless coming and going ends.
You are guarded more closely and more constantly than you can feel.
Sad jee-a sang rakhvaalaa -- always with the soul, its guard. Bahurh na jonee paa-ee-ai -- freed from the endless rounds; a heart rooted in the One is no longer tossed from one restless state to the next.
A Question to Sit With
How would you move through a hard day differently if you truly felt guarded the whole time?
