Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I worship the True Guru, and forever and ever I give myself to the Guru.
Serving this way, I find peace in the Court of the One.
Service with the whole heart is what brings a peace that lasts.
Serving the True Guru with your whole self brings peace in the presence of the One.
Satgur pooja-o sadaa sadaa manaava-o: I worship the satgur, the True Guru, and keep giving myself over. Manaava-o means to surrender, to please. Aisee sayv dargeh sukh paava-o: such service brings peace in the dargeh, the Court of the One. This is devotion rooted in the heart and in truth, and its reward is peace.
