Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one whose good fortune is whole and complete
keeps the Name of the One close and alive. The Name is a lasting union, a bond that does not break.
Being joined with the One is a bond that never breaks.
Pooray bhaag means a whole and complete good fortune. The verse speaks of a person whose fortune is complete. You can think of it as a life that has become ready to receive the Name.
Then comes a lovely picture: asthir sohaag. Sohaag is the joy of being joined in love, like a happy marriage. Asthir means steady and lasting. In many shabads the soul is pictured as a bride and the One as the beloved. Here that joining is called everlasting.
Think of the people who love you most. Even on a bad day, you still belong to each other. The bond with the One is like that, only it never ends.
What is a bond in your life that feels like it will last no matter what?
