Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is a beautiful tree full of fruit, and the fruit is sweet as nectar.
My mind longs to meet Him; how can I ever find Him?
He has no color and no mark; He is beyond reach and cannot be overcome.
I love Him with all my soul; He opens the door for me.
Tell me about my Friend, and I will serve you always.
I give myself to Him, again and again, with all my heart.
The beloved saints say: listen with your whole attention.
Nanak says: the one whose destiny is written receives the nectar of the Naam from the True Guru.
The One is pictured as a fruit tree bearing nectar (amrit). The One has no color or form (varnaa chihnaa baahraa), yet love opens the door. The saints' instruction is to listen with your whole attention (laa-ay chitaa), not merely to hear. What has no shape can still be reached, through love and attention.
How do you listen to something you cannot see or touch?
