ਮੇਰਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਦਇਆਲੁ ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗਿ ਲੀਣਾ ॥
mayraa gur da-i-aal sadaa rang leenaa.
My Merciful Guru remains forever imbued with the Lord's Love.
ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਰਹੈ ਏਕ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ਸਾਚੇ ਦੇਖਿ ਪਤੀਣਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
ahinis rahai ayk liv laagee saachay daykh pateenaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Day and night, He remains lovingly focused on the One Lord; gazing upon the True Lord, He is pleased. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My kind Guru is forever soaked in the color of love for the One.
Day and night, the Guru's attention rests on the One, and gazing on the True One, the Guru is content.
A heart soaked in love does not have to strain to stay steady.
The Guru is kind and always soaked in love, attention resting on the One day and night.
This is the Rahao, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Rang leenaa means dyed through with love, like cloth that takes a color so deeply it never washes out. Ahinis... ayk liv laagee — day and night, one steady attention. Pateenaa means content, pleased. A heart soaked like this does not have to strain; it rests in love.
A Question to Sit With
What are you so soaked in that it colors everything you do?
