Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My Beloved, my King, is right here with me.
Seeing that One, I come alive, O mother.
Remembering that One, no pain comes to me.
Please be kind, and bring me to meet that One.
The One you love is right here, close beside you.
Parabh pareetam mayrai sang raa-ay — my beloved One, my King, is with me. The words come the way a child talks to a mother: jisahi daykh ha-o jeevaa maa-ay — seeing that One, I come alive, O mother.
Think of a small child in a crowded place. The moment she spots her parent's face, her whole body relaxes. Being near is itself life.
Jaa kai simran dukh na ho-ay — remembering that One, pain does not come. Simran means keeping someone lovingly in mind. And so the verse ends with a soft prayer: be kind, and bring me to meet that One.
Who feels so close to you that just being near them makes you feel alive?
