Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Beloved, please dye my mind the deep red of Your love. I have given my mind to the Guru to be dyed that color.
Those soaked in the love of the One — Raam, Raam, Raam — drink this sweetness every day in big gulps, savoring its taste.
Love can dye a mind all the way through, like deep red dye soaking into white cloth.
Laalan laal laal hai: the Beloved is the deepest red. Crimson is Gurbani's color for a heart given completely. Rangan means dyeing. The seeker hands the mind to the Guru, to be dyed that color.
Think of dipping white cloth in deep red dye. Leave it long enough, and every thread changes color, inside and out.
Raam raam raam rang raatay: some are dyed in the love of the One. Gatak nit peejai: they drink it in big glad gulps, every day. Here the Name is a color that soaks all the way through.
What is something you love so much you never get tired of it?
