Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Think of a water wheel with buckets on a chain. As it turns, one bucket tips out its water, and another dips down and fills up again.
The Master's play is just like that. Such is the Master's greatness.
Life's filling and emptying turn together like buckets on one water wheel, and that turning is the Master's play.
jaisay harhat kee maalaa tind — like the tind, the buckets, on the chain of a harhat, a Persian water wheel. As the wheel turns, one bucket pours out its water while another dips down to fill.
taiso hee ih khayl khasam kaa — that is how the Master's khayl, or play, works. ji-o us kee vadi-aa-ee — such is His greatness.
Think of a Ferris wheel. One seat goes up while another comes down. Nobody on it is lost. Gaining and losing, arriving and leaving, are all one wheel turning. Everything keeps moving.
Can you think of something that ends only to make room for something new?
