Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The city of Lahore is a pool of sweet nectar, a home of praise.
Where the One is praised, even a city that has suffered becomes a pool of nectar.
A place where the One is praised becomes a pool of nectar.
Laahour sahar amrit sar: the city of Lahore is a pool of nectar, siftee daa ghar, a home of praise. These words are by Guru Amar Das, the third Guru. Placed right after Guru Nanak's salok on Lahore's day of destruction, they show the same city in the light of praise.
