Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Think of the chakvi bird longing all night for the sunrise, the swan at home only on its clear mountain lake, two people who love each other longing to be together.
That longing, that homecoming — that is what the One is to me. The thing I wait for, the place I belong.
The One is both what I long for and the home where I belong.
Chakvee ka-o jaisay soor baalhaa: as the sun is dear to the chakvee, a bird that waits all night for sunrise. Maan sarovar hansulaa: as Lake Mansarovar is dear to the hans, the swan. Ji-o tarunee ka-o kant baalhaa: as a husband is dear to his young wife.
The swan and its lake point to the soul and its true home. Think of coming home after a long trip, dropping your bag, and breathing out. That is what the One is to me.
Where or with whom do you feel most completely at home?
