Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A deep thirst has taken hold inside my mind and body.
The kind Guru has filled my hopes.
In the Sangat, all my wrongs are cut away.
I chant the Naam, dyed in love for the One's Naam.
A deep thirst inside you is a sign of what you are made to seek.
A deep thirst inside you is answered by the kind Guru, and in the Sangat your wrongs are cut away.
man tan bheetar laagee piaas — thirst within. kilvikh kaatay saadhsang — the old weight cut away in the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One; naam rang — in love with the Naam.
