Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The wish-granting tree has sprouted and grown.
It is covered with flowers, and its fruits are jewels of every kind.
Singing the praises of the One, I am full and satisfied.
Nanak says: I meditate on the One, Har, Har, Har.
When praise of the One takes root in you, it grows like a tree that gives everything you need.
Birakh jami-o hai paarjaat — the paarjaat tree has sprouted. In the old Indian stories, the paarjaat was a tree in the heavens that granted every wish. Here it grows inside a person.
Fool lagay fal ratan bhaant — it has flowers, and fruits like jewels of every kind. Tripat aghaanay means full and satisfied, the way you feel after a good meal when you want nothing more. That fullness comes from har gunah gaa-ay, singing the One's praises. And Nanak, the servant, keeps repeating the Naam: har har har.
If a tree inside you could grow one thing you need, what would it grow?
