What is there for me to fear? Your Name is my only strength.

This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Raag Aasaa on Pannaa 382


Aasaa, Fifth Mehla:
Since You are my Lord and Master,
what is there for me to fear?
Other than You, who else should I praise?
You are the One and only,

and so do all things exist;
without You, there is nothing at all for me. 1
O Father, I have seen that the world is poison.
Save me, O Lord of the Universe!

Your Name is my only Support. 1Pause
You know completely the condition of my mind;

who else could I go to tell of it?
Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord,

the whole world has gone crazy;
obtaining the Naam, it finds peace. 2
What shall I say?

Unto whom shall I speak?
What I have to say, I say to God.
Everything which exists was created by You.

You are my hope, forever and ever. 3
If you bestow greatness,

then it is Your greatness;
here and hereafter, I meditate on You.
The Lord God of Nanak is forever the Giver of peace;

Your Name is my only strength. 4i7i46.
