Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Come, my friends, come together and tell me the story of the One.

The Guru, in kindness, has brought me to the One, and I give my whole self to the Guru in thanks.

*Some stories you want to hear again and again with your friends.*
The deeper layer

The rahau. mil mil sakhee har kathaa -- gathering friends to share the Lord's story; longing wants company and telling. sir kat kat pa-ee-aa -- whole-hearted, grateful self-offering.
