Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You were given this body, so hard to get, for one reason.
O my dear One, bless me to speak that Naam.
This calm, restful peace is found in the Sangat of holy people.
May I always chant Your Naam in my heart, O One.
This rare life is given so you can speak the Naam, and rest is found in the Sangat.
Jaa kaaran ih dulabh dayh — for this reason you were given this dulabh dayh, a body that is very hard to get. So bol mayray prabhoo deh — give me that word, the Naam, to speak.
Saadhsangat meh ih bisraam — this rest is found in the saadhsangat, the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Bisraam is the deep rest of a traveler who has finally reached a shade tree. Sadaa ridai japee prabh tayro naam — may I always repeat Your Naam in my heart.
What do you think your one precious life is for?
