ਰਾਤੀ ਅਤੈ ਡੇਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰੇਮਿ ਸਮਾਇਆ ॥੯॥

O Nanak, remain immersed in the Lord's Love, night and day. ||9||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My True Beloved, You have planted love inside those who face the Guru.
Nanak says: they stay soaked in that love, night and day.
Love planted by the True One fills every hour, night and day.
Love planted by the True Beloved fills a person night and day.
Nayhu is deep affection, and sachai laa-i-aa says the True Beloved is the one who plants it. Paraym samaa-i-aa means soaked, immersed in love, raatee atai dayhu, night and day. Being immersed comes back across these saloks: love becomes the air a person lives in.
