Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
People who find such kind and holy friends are the most fortunate of all.
I would gladly be the dust of their path — that is how much I long to long for the One.
Finding holy people is the greatest fortune, and staying close to them is worth longing for.
Tin kee Dhoor mangah — I ask for the dust of their feet. That is an old picture of deep humility. It means loving and honoring the people further along the path, the way a young player looks up to the team captain.
Then comes a lovely doubling. Ham har loch luchaanee — I long for the longing for the One. Even the wish to want the One is a treasure.
Staying close to them in the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — is the steady medicine all through this raag.
Who is someone a little ahead of you that you would love to learn from?
