Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have found the treasure that holds everything; and the One's own speech is beyond words — too deep and subtle to fully catch.
Honored at the One's door, I swing my arms as I walk, free and glad.
The heart that was pulled out of the pit now walks in happy and free, swinging its arms.
Mai paa-i-o sarab niDhaan — I have found the treasure that holds everything. In the last verse the heart let go of the small things it was clinging to. Now it holds the whole treasure. It let go of the pieces and received the All.
Akath kathaaree-aa — the One's speech cannot be put into words. Akath means "beyond telling." The One is too deep and subtle for words to catch. The heart has found something it cannot fully describe.
Then comes a picture you cannot forget. Har dargeh sobhaavant baah ludaaree-aa — honored in the One's court, I walk swinging my arms. Think of how you walk on the last day of school, heading home into summer. Arms swinging, light on your feet, nothing heavy to carry. The body shows what the heart feels.
The heart does not creep nervously into the court of the One. It strides in, honored and glad. It is like walking home on a bright morning with nothing to fear.
Look at the journey so far. First the scary road. Then the longing to see. Then the rescue from the pit. Now the heart has arrived. It holds the treasure of everything, it is welcomed with honor, and it walks free.
What would it feel like to walk through your days with that 'arms swinging' freedom — nothing to fear, nothing to drag?
