ਰਤਨ ਜਵਾਹਰ ਹਰਿ ਮਾਣਕ ਲਾਲਾ ॥
ratan javaahar har maanak laalaa.
The Lord is the jewel, the pearl, the gem, the diamond.
ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਏ ਨਿਹਾਲਾ ॥੨॥
simar simar parabh bha-ay nihaalaa. ||2||
Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God, I am in ecstasy. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is like the most precious jewel — a pearl, a gem, a diamond.
Remembering it, again and again, my heart fills with joy.
The best thing there is, is like the most precious jewel — and just remembering it makes the heart glad.
"The Lord is the jewel, the pearl, the gem, the diamond. Meditating on God, I am in ecstasy." The One as the most precious treasure imaginable, and remembrance as pure vigaas — blossoming joy. For a child: the best thing there is, is like the most precious jewel, and just thinking of it makes the heart glad.
