Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Wherever the saints come together, they sing of the One in music and poetry.
In the Sangat there is joy and rest. Whoever finds a place among them carries a blessing on the forehead.
Joy and rest are found wherever the Sangat gathers.
jah saaDh santan hoveh ikatar — wherever the saints come together. There they sing of the One in music and poetry. SaaDh sabhaa is the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. It becomes a place of anad bisraam, joy and rest. Think of a kitchen full of family on a holiday, with singing and laughter.
The last line calls being there a blessing. jis mastak karaam — the one whose forehead carries this grace. It is a gift of belonging, freely given. It is not a prize someone earns.
When has being part of a warm group of people filled you with joy?
