Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O my mind, remember the One, the Supreme Lord, the True Lord, who knows every heart from the inside.

The One ends every sorrow and gives every peace. Sing the praises of my Beloved.

The One who made you also knows your heart better than you do.
The deeper layer

The One knows your heart from the inside, ends every sorrow and gives every peace.

The One is named antarjaamee, the inner-knower who reads the heart; dookhan ko hantaa, the ender of all sorrows; and sookhan ko daataa, the giver of all peace. maadho, madhusoodno and the other names string together as praise. To be fully known and still fully loved is the note struck here.

A Question to Sit With

What does it feel like to be known by someone?
