Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Again and again I serve the holy people, and I keep doing this always.
Joining the Sangat, singing the One's praises, I receive a gift from the Great Giver: fearlessness, a quiet courage where I am simply not afraid.
Serving holy people again and again, and singing in the Sangat, brings the gift of fearlessness.
Sayvat sayv sayv saadh sayva-o means "I serve, serve, serve the holy." Saying it over and over shows how much his heart is in it. Sadaa kara-o kirtaa-ay means "I do this always."
Abhai daan paava-o purakh daatay means "I receive the gift of fearlessness from the Great Giver." Abhai means without fear. Daan means gift. It is received, not earned.
Mil sangat har gun gaa-ay means joining the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — and singing the One's praises.
Think of a choir. On your own you might feel shy. But standing with everyone, singing together, the nervousness melts. That quiet courage is the gift.
Who do you feel braver just being around?
