Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The teaching drew me close, and I found the One as my companion, my support, my closest friend.

Now wherever I go, I am happy there, because kindness joined me to the One.

When you carry the right companion within, everywhere can feel like home.
The deeper layer

Har sang sahaa-ee -- the One as travelling companion. Jah jaa-ee-ai tahaa suhaylay -- wherever one goes, it is pleasant there; home is not a place but a Presence you carry.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you feel at home even in a new or strange place?
