ਤਿਨ ਮਤਿ ਊਤਮ ਤਿਨ ਪਤਿ ਊਤਮ ਜਿਨ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਵਸਿਆ ਬਨਵਾਰੀ ॥
tin mat ootam tin pat ootam jin hirdai vasi-aa banvaaree.
Their intellect is sublime and exalted, and so is their honor; the Lord, the Lord of the forest, abides within their hearts.
ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਲਾਇ ਹਰਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤਿਨ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਗਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਹਮਾਰੀ ॥੨॥
tin kee sayvaa laa-ay har su-aamee tin simrat gat ho-ay hamaaree. ||2||
O my Lord and Master, please link me to the service of those who meditate in remembrance on You, and are saved. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Their understanding is high, and their honor is high, because the One of the forest lives in their hearts.
O my Master, let me serve those who remember You and are set free.
Keeping company with people who remember the One, you're set free too.
When the One lives in someone's heart, their understanding and their honor are high.
Tin mat ootam tin pat ootam: their understanding is high, their honor is high. Banvaaree, the One of the forest, lives in their hearts. Then comes a request: tin kee sayvaa laa-ay, let me serve them.
Think of a younger kid who helps an older one they look up to, and learns just by being near.
