Gurbani is quoted from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 588. English renderings draw on the Sant Singh Khalsa translation and are lightly clarified for readers new to Gurbani.
Sing this when you are stepping into the unknown — a new city, a new role, a new chapter — and want to feel that the Guru walks beside you.
Composed by Guru Amar Das Ji (Mahalla 3) in Raag Vadhans (Vadhans Ki Vaar, Pauri 5). MedRise Gurbani presents it in a gentle, meditative arrangement so the words stay in front — sung for listeners who want to understand as they listen.
A prayer for protection, guidance and new beginnings. Play it in the morning before the day begins, or whenever the situation it speaks to is on your mind. Reading the meaning first turns listening into simran.
