Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sing the praises of the One; meditate on the celestial music.
The tongues of the holy repeat it; this, I have heard, is the way to emancipation, found by the greatest merit, O my mind.
Praise sung outwardly opens onto a celestial music heard within.
The Pause joins outer praise and inner music: sing the praises, and "meditate on the celestial music" (the Anhad). The holy "repeat it," and it is "the way to emancipation." Praise sung outwardly opens onto the unstruck music within.
