Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

I settled the One’s feet inside my heart, and peace arrived, a gentle music rose, and heap after heap of trouble cleared away.

How could I ever list all Your good qualities? Your worth can’t be measured — yet those who love You become steady and unshaken, with the One as their friend and support.

Love steadies the parts of you that fear used to shake.
The deeper layer

The pause-line celebrates rogaa ghaan mitaa-ee — whole heaps of “diseases,” the troubles of body and mind, clearing. Keemat kahan na jaa-ee, beyond price. Bhagat bha-ay abhinaasee: those who love become steady — love settles what fear used to shake.

A Question to Sit With

What is one good quality in someone you love that is hard to put into words?
