Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O tongue, sing the praises of the One. In every little moment, hold that Name close.
Don't go running everywhere else chasing other voices — for by great good fortune, you'll find the good company where all of this grows.
Sing of the One, moment by moment, and good company will find you.
Hay jihvay too raam gun gaa-o — O tongue, sing the praises of the One. Nimakh nimakh har har har Dhi-aa-o — in every moment, keep the One in mind. A nimakh is the blink of an eye.
Aan na sunee-ai katahoo jaa-ee-ai — listen to no other voice, go nowhere else. The point is a happy one. Once you have found what you need, you do not have to run around looking anymore. It is like finally spotting your friend in a crowd. You stop searching every face.
SaaDhsangat vadbhaagee paa-ee-ai — by great good fortune, you find the saaDhsangat, the company of good and holy people. Good fortune here means grace, a gift. Singing and remembering are warm and joyful here.
When you've found something that truly satisfies, do you still feel the need to keep searching?
