Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I woke up from a kind of sleep by keeping the One in mind, and what I saw filled me with wonder.
I drank the sweet nectar and felt full and satisfied — and oh, what an amazing taste.
Remembering the One wakes you up into wonder.
Sovat har jap jaagi-aa: remembering the One, I woke up from sleep. This is not bedtime sleep. It is the sleepy, half-paying-attention way we can live. Paykhi-aa bismaad: I looked, and was filled with wonder. Bismaad is that "wow" feeling, close kin to the awe in the word Waheguru. Think of seeing snow for the very first time.
Then pee amrit tariptaasi-aa: drinking the amrit, the sweet nectar, I felt full. Taa kaa achraj su-aad: what an amazing taste it has!
When did something ordinary suddenly fill you with wonder?
