Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Beloved I love, that Friend of mine, is with me.
I go about, inside and outside, and still I keep my Friend safe in my heart.
The Beloved goes with you, kept safe in your heart.
The Beloved stays with the one who loves, carried in the heart through the whole day.
Piree-aa sa-o nayhu is love for the Beloved; say sajan mai naal, that Friend is with me. Hirdai rakhaa samaal: I keep the One cherished in my heart. It is the practice of loving remembrance — holding the Beloved close even in the middle of ordinary things.
