ਖੋਜਤ ਖੋਜਤ ਲਾਲੁ ਇਕੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਹਰਿ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਕਹਣੁ ਨ ਜਾਈ ਸੰਤਹੁ ॥੨॥
khojat khojat laal ik paa-i-aa har keemat kahan na jaa-ee santahu. ||2||
Searching and searching, I have found the One Lord, the jewel; I cannot express His value, O Saints. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Searching and searching, I finally found the one jewel — the One.
And its worth is so great that I cannot put it into words, O saints.
The most precious thing is the one no price can measure.
Khojat khojat — searching and searching; the long looking is honored, not skipped. Laal is a precious jewel or ruby, a favorite Gurbani image for the One. Keemat kahan na jaa-ee: its value cannot be spoken, because it is not the kind of thing a price can measure.
