Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Give me Your help, brave and generous One — You are the One, the only One.
By Your creative power You made the world; Nanak holds tight to Your support.
The close is a plea for help and a confession of oneness — "You are the One, You are the Only Lord." And it ends where the whole raag keeps ending: "Nanak holds tight to Your support." After all the visions and warnings, the final posture is a grip — a person holding on, with both hands, to the one support there is. The wise one of the opening is, in the end, simply someone who found the one thing worth gripping and would not let go.
What is the one thing worth 'holding tight to' when everything else is uncertain?
