Kaanraa, Fifth Mehl:
ਜਨ ਕੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸੰਗੇ ਅਸਨੇਹੁ ॥
jan ko parabh sangay asnayhu.
God's humble servant is in love with Him.
ਸਾਜਨੋ ਤੂ ਮੀਤੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਿ ਤੇਰੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੇਹੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
saajno too meet mayraa garihi tayrai sabh kayhu. ||1|| rahaa-o.
You are my Friend, my very best Friend; everything is in Your Home. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's humble servant is in love with the One.
You are my friend, my very best friend. Everything is there in Your home.
When the One is your friend, you already have everything.
You can love the One the way you love your closest friend, and everything is in the One's home.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the centre of the shabad. Jan ko prabh sangay asnayhu: the One's servant loves the One. Saajno too meet mayraa: You are my friend, my dearest friend. Garihi tayrai sabh kayhu: everything is in Your home, like a grandparent's kitchen where there is always enough for everyone who walks in.
