ਗੁਣ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸਭਿ ਹਰਿ ਜਨ ਰਾਗ ਰਤਨ ਰਸਨਾ ਆਲਾਪ ॥
gun govind gaavhu sabh har jan raag ratan rasnaa aalaap.
Sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe, all you humble servants of the Lord; chant the jewels, the songs of the Lord with your tongue.
ਕੋਟਿ ਜਨਮ ਕੀ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਨਿਵਰੀ ਰਾਮ ਰਸਾਇਣਿ ਆਤਮ ਧ੍ਰਾਪ ॥੧॥
kot janam kee tarisnaa nivree raam rasaa-in aatam Dharaap. ||1||
The desires of millions of incarnations shall be quenched, and your soul shall be satisfied with the sweet, sublime essence of the Lord. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Sing the praises of the One, all of you — let the songs come off your tongue like jewels.
Longings that felt endless, gathered over lifetimes, can settle and grow quiet, and the soul feels satisfied by that sweetness.
Sung with love, plain words come out like jewels.
raag ratan rasnaa aalaap — songs like jewels on the tongue. kot janam kee trisnaa nivree — the thirst of many lifetimes quenched; raam rasaa-in aatam Dharaap — the soul contented by the sweet essence.
A Question to Sit With
