Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The bride is far away; her beloved lives in his own country. He sends his Word, the Shabad, through the True Guru.
She gathers good qualities and keeps the One in her heart. Filled with devotion, she is happy.
Even when the One feels far away, a message is always on its way.
Dhan vaadhee pir days nivaasee — the bride is far from her beloved, who lives in his own land. Sachay gur peh sabad pathaa-ee — so a Word, the Shabad, is sent through the True Guru. The Word crosses the distance. It is the answer to viraha, the ache of being apart.
It is like getting a voice message from a grandparent who lives across the world. They are still far, but you feel close.
Gun sangrahi parabh ridai nivaasee — she gathers gun, good qualities, like getting ready for the reunion. She makes a home for the One inside her heart. Bhagat ratee harkhaa-ee — full of love, she is happy. The happiness comes with the love, before any meeting. The homecoming starts now.
Have you ever felt close to someone far away because of a message they sent?
