Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O Cherishing One, You are beyond all measure — endless, unfathomable, without limit.
And I would gladly bow at the feet of anyone who has truly come to know You.
Fareed turns to the One in wonder — You are infinite, unfathomable, and endless — the boundless One beyond all measure. And then his humble, loving gesture toward fellow lovers of the One: those who recognize the True Lord — I kiss their feet. Notice the two directions of his reverence: awe toward the infinite One above, and humble love toward the good-hearted people who have found that One. He doesn't hold himself above other devotees; he bows to them, honoring the One shining through them. For a child, it models a beautiful humility: stand in awe of what's greater than you, and honor the goodness you see in others — bow to it, learn from it, treasure it. Reverence flows both up (to the One) and across (to the good-hearted).
Who is someone whose goodness you deeply admire — someone you'd feel honored just to learn from?
