Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

He is the Master of those who have no one, the support of the saints. He wipes away millions of wrongs.

My mind is thirsty to see Him.

The One is the perfect treasure of everything good.

Nanak says: with your tongue, sing the praises of the One, the Kind and Loving Lord of the World.

No one is alone who belongs to the One.
The deeper layer

The One belongs to those who have no one, and the mind grows thirsty to see the One.

Anaath naath: the Master of those who have no master. Kot paap binaas: wiping away millions of wrongs. Man darsanai kee pi-aas: my mind is thirsty for the sight of the One. Pooran guntaas: the perfect treasure of everything good. Rasnaa gun gaa-ay: the tongue sings the praises.

Think of a runner on a hot day, reaching for a cup of cool water.

A Question to Sit With

What does it feel like to know someone is always in your corner?
