Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
True is the gift of the True and Compassionate One.
Day and night I serve the One whose Name is priceless.
Serving the One is its own payment.
This verse is calm and settled, as songs often are near their end. Sachay sachee daat — the gift is true because the Giver is true. The Giver is da-i-aal, which means kind and caring.
Tis sayvee din raat — day and night, I serve that One. The gatekeeper from the third verse is now simply at home at the door. Serving has become a way of living.
The Name is amol, priceless. That means no one could ever put a price tag on it. Think of sitting next to your grandparent while they tell stories. Nobody pays you to be there. Being close is the reward.
What in your life do you value beyond any price — and how do you serve it?
