My King, You alone know the pain within me; You pervade all, everyone begs at Your door, and You are the hope of all who breathe.
The Arc
Some feelings are hard to put into words. You try to explain, and it comes out wrong. Maybe you type a message in the group chat and delete it. The One already knows that ache, all of it. Seeing the One brings peace. The One flows through everyone you meet today. Every person you pass is asking from the same Giver, the same as you. No one is outside the One, and no one is left out. So you can rest. You can say, my King, keep me however You please. Being fully known is a deep kind of comfort. At the centre, the Rahao: in the One's sight there is peace, and the One alone knows the ache inside.

Themes and Cross-Connections
This is one of the raag's — and the whole Guru Granth's — most intimate statements of Ik Onkaar: the One pervades all, all belong to it, and it belongs to all. ‘You alone know my inner pain’ is the emotional peak: to be fully known by the One is the deepest comfort. The closing surrender (ji-o bhaavai ti-o rakh) is the poise of sahaj and trust in hukam.
For Raag Dhanaasaree
The raag of longing arrives at rest: the King who holds everything is also the One who sees the ache no one else can see — so the seeker can finally stop explaining and simply be known.
Translation Notes
None required; the shabad's imagery is gentle. The royal address saahaa is kept as ‘King’ throughout for consistency with the source's affectionate tone.
