Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Now, wherever I turn my eyes, I see the One I love.
The door has swung open, and my restless mind has finally come to rest.
This one means that now the One is seen everywhere, and the mind is at rest.
This is the second "pause" line, the rahaa-o doojaa. A pause line is the center of a shabad. This one is a short closing refrain that seals the whole song.
jah daykhaa tah pir hai bhaa-ee — wherever I look, my Beloved is there, O brothers and sisters. The seeing has changed.
Then the door opens. That door is inside us. The mind stops searching and becomes thahraa-ee, steady and still. Think of a snow globe after you stop shaking it. All the flakes settle, and you can see clearly.
What would it be like to see something you love reflected everywhere you looked?
