By Guru's Grace, this spring of the soul has come.
ਚਰਨ ਕਮਲ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਉਰਿ ਧਾਰੇ ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਸੁਨਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
charan kamal hirdai ur Dhaaray sadaa sadaa har jas sunaa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
I enshrine the Lord's Lotus Feet within my heart; I listen to the Lord's Praise, forever and ever. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By the Guru's grace, spring has come to my soul.
I keep the One's lotus feet in my heart, and I listen to the One's praise, forever and ever.
Grace can bring spring to a heart in any season.
By the Guru's grace, spring comes into your heart, and you listen to the One's praise forever.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. gur parsaad basant banaa — by grace the spring comes. har jas sunaa — deep listening (Suniai), taking the praise all the way in.
