Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who lives close to the Beloved is always at home in that love, and is known everywhere for it — soaked through with the Beloved's colors.
Nanak says: to such a heart, everything in me bows.
The one who lives close to the Beloved is always at home in that love. Everyone can see it.
Nikat vartan means living close by. Suhaagan means the happy bride, the one who belongs fully to the Beloved. It stands for any soul at home in love. Dah dis means the ten directions — everywhere. Such a person is known far and wide.
Pari-a rang rang ratee means dyed through and through with the Beloved's color. Think of a white T-shirt dipped in bright dye. The color is not just on top; it is in every thread. Nanak says tis kurbaanee, I give myself to such a heart. Belonging deeply to one thing makes you unmistakable.
Who do you know that seems completely at home in what they love?
