Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Tell me — which way will I find my beautiful One? Good people, show me the road and I will walk it.
This line is a seeker's honest question: which way do I go to find the One?
It is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad (hymn). Mayro sundar kahhu milai kit galee — tell me, down which lane will I meet my beautiful One? Then comes a humble promise: har kay sant bataavhu maarag ham peechhai laag chalee — O saints of the One, show me the path, and I will follow behind you.
This is the attitude the whole shabad rewards. Not knowing the way, but being willing to be led.
Think of being new at school and asking an older kid, "Where's the library?" The moment you ask, you have already started walking there. The seeker who admits they don't know the road, and asks good people to show it, is already on it.
Where could you simply admit you don't know the way and ask someone wiser to show you?
