Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your beautiful Name is my one support — I live by hearing it, again and again.
One good thing, held close, can hold up a whole life.
This is the rahao line, the "pause," the center of the shabad (a hymn). Mayray prabh preetam naam adhaaraa: the Name of my Beloved is my support. The Name is the living presence of the One. Adhaaraa means the thing you lean on.
Ha-o sun sun jeevaa naam tumaaraa: I live by hearing Your Name, again and again.
Think of a song you love so much you play it every day. It lifts you each time. The Name is like that. It is one anchor we come back to, over and over, and the whole life leans on it.
What's one good thing you can lean on and return to whenever you need it?
