Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O Creator Lord, everyone is in Your power.
I think about the One Word of the Shabad. You are mine. What else do I need?
This is the pause line, the Rahao, the center of the song. It says: the One holds everything, and the One is mine, so I have all I need.
Kartaa sabh ko tayrai jor — O Creator, everyone is held in Your power. Ayk sabad beechaaree-ai — I think deeply about the One Word, the Shabad.
Then the heart of it: jaa too taa ki-aa hor — if You are mine, what else could I want? Notice the words. It is not only "I am Yours." It is "You are mine." The One is not far away or holding back. The One already belongs to the soul.
Think of a small child holding a parent's hand in a busy airport. There is noise and rushing everywhere. But the child is calm. Mom is here. What else matters?
And the practice is simple. Not many methods, not lots of steps. One Word, held close.
What do you most feel is truly 'yours' — not owned, but belonging to the deepest part of you?
