Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one to whom Gopal, the Keeper of the world, shows Himself — seeing that person, I am filled with joy forever.
They hold every good quality and many treasures. The True Guru has given them the Naam.
Being near someone who carries the Naam lifts your heart.
Jaa ka-o pargat bha-ay gopaal means "the one to whom the Lord shows Himself." Gopaal is a name for the One, the Keeper of the world. Taa kai darsan sadaa nihaal: "seeing that person, I am always filled with joy." Darsan is the blessed sight of someone. Nihaal means deeply happy.
Think of a calm, kind grandparent. Just sitting beside them on the couch, you feel better.
Sarab gunaa taa kai bahut nidhaan means "all good qualities and many treasures are with them." Gun is a good quality. Why are they so full? Jaa ka-o satgur dee-o naam: because the True Guru gave them the Naam. The Naam grows every good thing in a heart that holds it.
Who lifts your spirits just by being around?
