Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I cheer and celebrate the gathering of good, true-hearted people — always. The Name of the One is the very breath of those who serve.
And here's my prayer, heard at last: by the kindness of good company, I've come to make my home in the Name.
The Name can be a home you live in, and good company helps you find the way there.
Sant sabhaa ka-o sadaa jaikaar — always cheer for the sant sabhaa, the gathering of good, true-hearted people. Har har naam jan paraan adhaar — the Name is the support of the breath of those who serve. Kaho naanak mayree sunee ardaas — says Nanak, my ardaas, my prayer, has been heard.
Sant parsaad mo ka-o naam nivaas — by the kindness of good company, I live in the Name. Nivaas means home, a place you live.
That is a lovely ending. It is not just visiting the Name. It is living there. Think of the difference between visiting a friend's house and being at home in your own. And you get there through the kindness of others, which is grace.
What would it mean to "live inside" something good, rather than just visiting it now and then?
