Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
There has never been anyone like You, and there never will be — not in all the past, not in all the future. You are my beloved, the support of my very breath.
Nanak says: my whole self is colored through with Your Name, and I am joined to You, the One, completely.
Nothing, in all of time, is like the One, and the self that loves the One is joined to it completely.
Bhoor bhavikh means past and future. Nothing that ever was, and nothing that ever will be, compares. The One is paraan aDhaaraa, the support of every breath.
Then comes a picture the Gurus use often, the soul-bride. Har kai naam ratee sohaagan means the self is dyed in the Name and united with the Beloved. The marriage picture is about closeness and belonging. Think of how two people who love each other feel at home together. That is the closeness meant here, and every child can feel it too.
What is one thing that feels completely one-of-a-kind to you?
