Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I would gladly wash the Teacher's feet and serve with all my heart — I'd give myself for that a hundred thousand times over.
By that grace I have crossed the wide, rough sea of the world, and I am joined again with my Beloved.
Charan pakhaar kara-o gur sayvaa — washing the Teacher's feet and serving: an image of wholehearted, humble devotion, baar jaa-o lakh baree-aa, 'a hundred thousand times over.' Jih parsaad ih bha-ojal tari-aa — 'by whose grace I crossed the bhavjal,' the vast, difficult world-ocean. The shabad ends where it began, in love: pari-a sang miree-aa — united with the Beloved. The soul that opened crying 'without You, who is mine?' now closes joined to that very One. The circle of longing and reunion is complete.
Who is someone you'd do almost anything for — and what does that kind of love feel like?
