Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One gave the word, and the rain came down, easily and naturally.
Grain and abundance sprang up everywhere, and the whole earth was full and satisfied.
Sing the One's goodness always, and sorrow and lack quietly slip away.
Each person receives what they are ready to receive, in the natural flow of things. Nanak says: the One keeps you alive — remember that One with your whole heart.
A single generous picture: the One speaks, meehu vuthaa sahj subhaa-ay — the rain falls "naturally, effortlessly" (sahj, the ease of a thing simply doing what its nature does). Out of that come ann dhan (grain and wealth) and a whole earth rajee tipat aghaa-ay, "satisfied, satiated, full." It is the Giver keeps giving theme in landscape form — abundance as the ordinary shape of reality, not a reward extracted. Dukh daalad ga-i-aa bilaa-ay — "sorrow and poverty run away" — under praise. And tisai rajaa-ay ("by the Will") is read here as the flow of existence: you receive in the rhythm of what is, and the deepest response is to remember the One who keeps you alive.
Where do you see life quietly giving without being asked — like rain, or sunlight, or a plant that just grows?
