Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is the treasure of all that is good, caring for and holding up every single heart.
My heart is thirsty for just one glimpse -- please fill my hopes. I can hardly last a moment without it. Nanak says: by great good luck I have found the One.
*One true glimpse of what you love can feel worth everything.*
sarab ghat partipaal -- sustaining every heart. darsan pi-aas -- thirst for a glimpse. vad bhaag naanak paa-ay -- finding the One is great good fortune, grace received, not a reward earned.
