ਜੀਅਨ ਕੋ ਦਾਤਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ॥
jee-an ko daataa mayraa parabh.
My God is the Giver of souls.
ਪੂਰਨ ਪਰਮੇਸੁਰ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਰਾਤਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
pooran parmaysur su-aamee ghat ghat raataa mayraa parabh. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Perfect Transcendent Lord Master, my God, imbues each and every heart. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My One is the Giver of life to every being.
The perfect Supreme One, my Master, colors every heart through and through — no heart left out.
The One is woven into every single heart, including yours.
The Giver of souls is woven into the inside of every living thing, close rather than distant.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the centre of the shabad. Ghat ghat raataa — dyed into each and every heart. Raataa (colored, soaked) suggests intimacy, not oversight.
