Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
People whose hearts are colored through with love for the One never go wandering off looking for anything else. They've found their place.
This one says a heart soaked in love stops wandering.
Jo jan raatay raam si-o — those who are raatay in the One. Raatay means colored or dyed. Anat na kaahoo jaa-ay — they do not go anywhere else.
A cloth dyed all the way through does not fade back to white. A heart soaked in love does not go shopping around for another.
Think of a kid who finally finds a best friend. They stop hopping from group to group at recess. It is not that the other groups are forbidden. They have simply found where they belong. The restless searching of the earlier verses finally stops. Being content is what happens when longing is met.
What is a place or feeling where you never want to be anywhere else?
