Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Every wish, every comfort, every delight. A happiness that lasts. All of it lives in singing and keeping the Name.
For some, this was written from the very start. For them, every task in life is quietly completed.
Every good thing a heart could wish for is found in singing and keeping the Name.
Sarab manorath raaj sookh ras is a whole list of good things: every wish, power, comfort, delight. The verse says they all live in keertan jap naam — singing praise and keeping the Name. It is like finding that one small key opens every door in the house.
Then comes jis kai karam likhi-aa Dhur: the one for whom it was written from the very start. This points to grace that was there from the beginning. That "writing" is not a prize you earn ahead of time. It is an openness you receive, like a door already left open for you.
If lasting happiness were one thing rather than many, where do you think you'd find it?
