Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I keep searching and searching — through woods and wide-open places — looking for the One.
The One cannot be tricked, cannot be worn away, cannot be fully figured out — that is how wondrous the One is.
You can search everywhere for the One, and be amazed by what you are looking for.
Khojat khojat mai firaa — searching and searching, I wander around. Khoja-o ban thaan — I search the woods and every place. Think of hunting through the whole house for something precious, room after room.
Then comes the wonder. The One is achhal, who cannot be tricked. Achhayd, who cannot be cut or worn away. Abhayd, whose secret cannot be fully figured out. Aisay bhagvaan — that is what my One is like. The shabad begins with a search, and with awe at the One being searched for.
What is something you keep wondering about that you may never fully solve?
