Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The day I meet the holy — I give myself to that day.
My body, my mind, my very soul — again and again, I offer them.
The day you meet the holy is a day worth giving your whole heart to.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Jaa din bhaytay saadh mohi u-aa din balihaaree — the day I meet the holy, I would give myself for that day. Balihaaree means offering yourself out of love and thanks.
Tan man apno jee-araa fir fir ha-o vaaree — body, mind and soul, again and again, I offer. This is wholehearted love, not wiping yourself out. It is like counting down the days to see a favorite cousin, then giving that visit your whole heart.
What is a day you would relive just because of the people in it?
