Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My love for the One who cares for the world will never grow smaller.
I bought it at a high price. I gave my whole self for it, and it was worth every bit.
This love is the most precious thing I own, and I paid for it with my whole self.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. Mayree pareet gobind si-o jin ghatai — may my love for the One never grow smaller. Gobind is a name for the One who cares for the world.
Mai ta-o mol mahgee la-ee jee-a satai — I bought it at a high price, and the price was my own self. Love for the One costs a lot. That is not a punishment. It is because it asks for your whole heart, the way a best friendship asks for real time and care.
What is something so valuable to you that you would give your whole heart for it?
