ਅਹੰ ਮਤ ਅਨ ਰਤ ਕੁਮਿਤ ਹਿਤ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਪੇਖਤ ਭ੍ਰਮਤ ਲਾਖ ਗਰੀਆ ॥੧॥
ahaN mat an rat kumit hit pareetam paykhat bharmat laakh garee-aa. ||1||
Intoxicated with egotism and imbued with other tastes, I am in love with my evil enemies. My Beloved watches over me as I wander through thousands of incarnations. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Dizzy with my own pride and soaked in other tastes, I have made friends with my worst enemies.
My Beloved watches over me as I wander through thousands of lives.
Even when we wander far, we are never out of loving sight.
Pride makes you love the very things that hurt you, and all along the Beloved keeps watching.
Ahan mat: dizzy with ego, like someone drunk. An rat: soaked in other tastes. Kumit hit: loving bad friends, the habits and wants that work against you. Pareetam paykhat bharmat laakh garee-aa: the Beloved watches as I wander through thousands of lives. Even in all that wandering, you never leave the Beloved's sight.
