I am liberated, gazing on the Blessed Vision of the Guru's Darshan. Devotional worship has made me glorious and exalted throughout the ages. ||2||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My love for my Master is always new. Day and night, devotion makes me beautiful.

I am set free when the Guru lets me see the One. Through every age, devotion makes a life shine.

The truest love feels new every single day.
The deeper layer

Love for the One never gets old. It feels new every day.

Na-utan pareet sadaa thaakur si-o — love for the Master is always fresh. Think of a song you never get tired of, no matter how many times you play it. An-din bhagat suhaavee — devotion, day and night, makes life beautiful.

Mukat bha-ay gur daras dikhaa-i-aa — seeing the Guru brings mukat, freedom. That seeing makes the heart glad jug jug, through all the ages.

A Question to Sit With

What is something you love that never seems to get old?
