ਏਹੁ ਮਨੁ ਭੈ ਭਾਇ ਰੰਗਾਏ ॥
ayhu man bhai bhaa-ay rangaa-ay.
So color this mind in the Fear and the Love of God.
ਇਤੁ ਰੰਗਿ ਸਾਚੇ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਏ ॥
it rang saachay maahi samaa-ay.
Dyed in this color, one merges in the True Lord.
ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਕੋ ਇਹੁ ਰੰਗੁ ਪਾਏ ਗੁਰਮਤੀ ਰੰਗੁ ਚੜਾਇਦਾ ॥੮॥
poorai bhaag ko ih rang paa-ay gurmatee rang charhaa-idaa. ||8||
By perfect destiny, some may obtain this color. Through the Guru's Teachings, this color is applied. ||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
So dye your heart instead in wonder and love for the One. Colored this way, you blend into the True One.
When the moment is right, this color takes — and it is the Guru's teaching that brushes it on. This color never washes out.
Dye your heart in wonder and love, and the color will not wash out.
Bhai bhaa-ay: awe and love, the awe of reverent wonder. This is the fast dye that, once set by the Guru's teaching, does not fade — the opposite of the previous pauri's washout color.
