Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Give yourself, gladly, to serving the boundless One.
It is through the teaching that the pure and formless One becomes clear to me.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line. It is the center of the whole song.
Paarbarahm kee laaga-o sayv — give yourself to serving the Highest One. Paarbarahm means the One beyond every limit. Sayv means service, giving yourself gladly, the way you help someone you love.
Gur tay sujhai niranjan dayv — through the Guru, the pure One becomes clear. Niranjan means spotless, without any stain. Sujhai means to be seen clearly.
Think of a foggy window. Someone wipes it, and suddenly you can see the garden outside. The Guru, the Teacher, is the one who wipes the glass.
What is something you understood only once someone helped you see it?
