Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One lives in every single heart — though only a few really notice.
Is there a friend who can help lift the thin screen that seems to keep us apart?
I can only do my small part; the rest is a kindness given to me.
And for that, I'd give my whole self.
The turn: "He dwells in each and every heart, but only a few know this." The One is already within — the barrier is a thin screen (pardaa) of not-noticing. "Is there any friend who can rip apart the screen of separation?" — we need help to see what's already there. "I can only make the effort, if the Lord is merciful" — our part is small, grace does the rest. For a child: the good you long for is already inside you and everyone; sometimes you just need a friend to help lift the thin curtain so you can see it.
Who is a friend who helps you 'see' good things you'd otherwise miss?
