Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listen, my friends: my soul lives in my Beloved, and my Beloved lives in my soul.
I cannot tell my soul and my Beloved apart; I cannot say whether my soul or my Beloved lives in my heart.
Love can grow so close that no line is left between you and the One.
Love for the One can grow so close that no line is left between you.
Sun sakhee: listen, friend. Pee-a meh jee-o basai: the soul lives in the Beloved. Jee-o pee-o boojha-o nahee: I cannot tell soul and Beloved apart. This closes the little chain of love saloks before it.
