Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are wise, the supreme seer — how could I ever make You a mere object of my thought?
Master of Naam Dayv, You are the merciful One who forgives.
This one is about how we know the One.
Naam Dayv says the One is wise, and sees everything. Mai beechaar ki-aa karee — how could I turn You into a thought in my head? The One is the Seer. So the One can't be shrunk into something we look at or think about.
Think of trying to fit the ocean into a teacup. You can dip the cup in. But the cup can't hold the ocean.
So what is left isn't figuring it out. It is a relationship. Naamay chay su-aamee — Master of Naam Dayv. Bakhsand — the One who forgives, full of mercy. The One is known by being trusted, not by being solved. Naam Dayv ends not with a definition but with mercy.
What is better known by relationship and trust than by trying to 'figure it out'?
