The imagery of seeking the Divine's gracious glance, saving embrace, and a pull from the well of worldly entanglements invites reflection.

1 Reality realized by Eternal Perfection's Grace!

O! All-Pervasive, O! Earth-Force, O! Destroyer of sorrow,
Bestow Nam1 to Your votary who has come to Your humble sanctuary. 

O! Divine! Glance at me, graciously save me,
grab my arm, and pull me out of the well. Reflect.

Blinded by lust and anger, caught in deception,
Numerous vices have totally covered the body. 

Without the Divine, there is no other Protector,
O! Sanctuary-Warrior, help me remember Nam. 1.

Uplifter of fallen, Saviour of beings,
even the Veda2 readers don’t know Your limits.

O! Ocean of Virtues and Comfort, O! Jewel-Mine Supreme Cosmic,Nanak sings, recognizing the devotee’s Lover. 2.
