Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Who could ever delight You but You Yourself?
Wherever I look, I see Your beauty in all of it, and I am completely enchanted.
When you really look, you see one beauty shining through everything.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line at the center of the shabad. It is full of wonder. Tujh bin kavan reejhaavai tohee — who could please You, except You? The One is so complete that nothing from outside can add to it.
Tayro roop sagal daykh mohee — seeing Your beauty everywhere, all are enchanted. Mohee means spellbound.
This is Ik Onkar, the One in everything, felt as beauty. Think of stepping outside after rain and seeing the light on every leaf and puddle. The seeker looks around and sees the One shining in all of it. The rest of the shabad grows this into a picture of the One filling every world and every person who prays.
When was the last time something in the world was so beautiful it left you spellbound?
