Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.
Is there a friend or companion who will keep sharing what's good and true with me?
Someone who'll help ease my troubles and my unkind habits? I'd give them my whole heart.
This is a Partaal (the lively, rhythm-shifting form). The rahao is a warm search for a companion on the path: "is there any friend who will constantly share the Lord's Name with me? Will he rid me of my pains and evil tendencies? I would surrender everything." The heart longs not just for the good but for a friend to walk toward it with. For a child: it's a good thing to long for a friend who shares what's true and helps you grow kinder.
Who is a friend who helps you become kinder and better?
