Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You alone truly know the inner workings of my heart — You are my beautiful, understanding friend.
Every comfort I have ever known, I received from You, my Master, too vast and deep for me to measure.
Antar kee bidh tum hee jaanee — 'only You know the condition of my inner being.' The One is the friend who understands you completely, from the inside — tum hee sajan suhaylay, the beautiful companion. Sarab sukhaa mai tujh tay paa-ay — all comforts come from You. The names agah atolay — 'unfathomable, unweighable' — hold the paradox at the heart of this shabad: the One is utterly vast and beyond measure, and the most intimate friend who knows your heart. Grandeur and closeness together.
Who is someone who understands you from the inside, without you having to explain yourself?
