Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your words are true and sweet like nectar.
Your nearness is cooling and soothing, and Your gaze sees and knows everything with love.
Being near what's truly good is like cool shade on a hot day — calming and kind.
A tender verse: "True is Your Mantra, Ambrosial is Your Bani... Cooling and soothing is Your Presence, all-knowing is Your gaze." The One's presence is sheetal — cool, calming, like shade on a hot day. And the all-seeing gaze is not surveillance but loving attention. For a child: being near the One is like cool shade on a hot day — calming and kind.
