Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Oh, the wondrous glory of my Beloved!
My mind is made new forever, colored by that wondrous love.
The glory of the Beloved colors the mind with a love that keeps it new forever.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Mayray laalan kee sobhaa: oh, the glory of my Beloved! Laalan means the dear Beloved. Sobhaa means glory, a shining beauty.
Sad navtan man rangee: the mind is dyed by love, ever new. Sad navtan means always fresh. Think of a T-shirt dyed with cheap color. After a few washes, it fades. The love of the One is a lasting dye. It never fades, and it keeps making the mind new. Here the tenderness of Raag Kalyaan shines at its brightest.
What love in your life keeps feeling fresh, no matter how long you have known it?
