Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Why hand my wonder to things that come and go, that were made just like me?
The One who made me lives right inside my mind; there is no other. When I turn my praise to that True One, a true and lasting honor settles on me.
Praise the One who made everything, not the things that were made.
Keetaa ki-aa salaahee-ai — why praise something that was created? Kar daykhai so-ee — the One makes it and watches over it. Jin kee-aa so man vasai — the One who made me lives in my mind.
So saachaa salaahee-ai saachee pat ho-ee — praise that True One, and you receive saachee pat, true and lasting honor. Think of admiring a beautiful painting. The real wonder is the artist who made it.
What deserves your admiration, and what only looks impressive?
