ਤੇਰਾ ਏਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਮੰਜੀਠੜਾ ਰਤਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਚੋਲਾ ਸਦ ਰੰਗ ਢੋਲਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
tayraa ayko naam manjeeth-rhaa rataa mayraa cholaa sad rang dholaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Your Name alone is the color, in which the robe of my body is dyed. This color is permanent, O my Beloved. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your Name is like a deep, rich dye — the kind made from madder root, that soaks all the way through and never washes out.
My whole self is colored in it, Beloved, and that color stays true forever.
Love that soaks all the way through never fades.
The Rahao is pure Soohee: tayraa ayko naam manjeeth-rhaa — Your Name is manjeeth, madder root, the dye that soaks all the way through, so rataa mayraa cholaa sad rang, my robe is colored forever. Cheap dye washes out; this one holds.
