Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my One, for the sake of Your Name I give myself away, moment by moment, piece by piece. My whole self is Yours.
The whole song comes down to one line: everything I am, I give for the Name.
This is the last Rahao, the last "pause" line, of the first shabad. The song ends here after four verses. Saahib tayray naam vitahu — Master, for Your Name I give myself.
The words bind bind chukh chukh, moment by moment, bit by bit, come back from the verse before. Said again, they sound like a heartbeat slowing down. The song winds down into stillness, the way a room goes quiet after the last note.
What is something you do a little bit of, over and over, until it adds up?
