Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Before the Guru, the mind starts to dance -- and a music no instrument can make begins to sound inside.
Then you praise the One day and night, your feet keeping time, your whole self joining the beat.
Joy fills the mind, and it starts to dance.
Ih man naachai satgur aagai means this mind dances in front of the True Guru. Anhad sabad Dhun toor vaja-ee-aa means the anhad sabad, the unstruck music inside, begins to play. It is music no hand plays, like a song that keeps going in your head after a wonderful day.
Har har ustat karai din raatee means the mind praises the Lord day and night. Rakh rakh charan har taal poora-ee-aa means the feet keep time to the Lord's beat. Think of everyone at a family wedding, dancing without even deciding to. Devotion here is a celebration with your whole body. It is joy, not a heavy duty.
What makes you want to move, hum, or dance without being told to?
