bai khareed ha-o daasro tayraa.
I am Your indentured servant; I am Your slave.
ਤੂੰ ਭਾਰੋ ਠਾਕੁਰੁ ਗੁਣੀ ਗਹੇਰਾ ॥੨॥
tooN bhaaro thaakur gunee gahayraa. ||2||
You are my Great Lord and Master, the treasure of excellence. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I belong to You completely, glad to serve.
You are my great and steady One, a deep treasure of every good quality there is.
To belong to what is good is not to shrink but to be filled.
bai khareed ha-o daasro tayraa — the language of belonging, glad rather than grudging. gunee gahayraa — a deep well of virtues. To serve here is not to be diminished but to be linked to the source of all goodness.
