Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I remember that One, all my sadness just slips away. So how could I ever let go of that? How could I turn away?
This one asks: if something takes your sadness away, why would you ever walk away from it?
So ki-o tajnaa jaa-ay — how could anyone leave that One? It is a question with no answer, because the answer is obvious.
Here is the simple logic of love. When you remember the Beloved, dukh beesrahi — the sorrows are forgotten. They quietly slip away.
Think of a warm blanket on a cold night. It is right there, and it makes the shivering stop. Pushing it away would be strange. This is not an order to stay loyal. It is the puzzled voice of someone who cannot picture leaving the one thing that heals them.
What is something whose company makes your worries grow quiet?
