ਪਰਮ ਬੈਰਾਗੁ ਨਿਤ ਨਿਤ ਹਰਿ ਧਿਆਏ ਮੈ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਕਹਤੇ ਭਾਵਨੀ ਕਹੀਆ ॥
param bairaag nit nit har Dhi-aa-ay mai har gun kahtay bhaavnee kahee-aa.
I am totally detached, continually, continuously meditating on the Lord; chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, I express my love for Him.
ਬਾਰ ਬਾਰ ਖਿਨੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਪਲੁ ਕਹੀਐ ਹਰਿ ਪਾਰੁ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ਪਰੈ ਪਰਈਆ ॥੫॥
baar baar khin khin pal kahee-ai har paar na paavai parai para-ee-aa. ||5||
Time and time again, each and every moment and instant, I express it. I cannot find the Lord's limits; He is the farthest of the far. ||5||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every moment, again and again, I keep the One in mind and let my love spill out in song.
And still I can never reach the end of the One -- greater than anything I can imagine, farther than the farthest. That is not sad; it is wonderful.
*Some things are so vast that never reaching their end is the joy of it.*
param bairaag (deep, settled detachment) paired with constant remembrance. paar na paavai parai para-ee-aa -- the One exceeds every limit. The vastness is offered as awe, the endless horizon that keeps wonder alive.
