Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The lamp I lift is a fine one, and its wick is clean and pure. I bring You my very best, not my leftovers.
But the truest light in the room is You — spotless, shining, holding every true treasure. My little flame is only pointing at Yours.
The lamp is lovely, and the One is the greater Light it points to.
Ootam dee-araa nirmal baatee — a fine lamp and a pure, clean wick. They match the next words: tuheeN niranjan, You are niranjan, the stainless One, untouched by any smudge.
The outer lamp is beautiful because it is a picture of the inner, spotless Light. Think of the moon. It glows, but only because it reflects the sun.
What is something beautiful that reminds you of something even more beautiful behind it?
