Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A deep gladness fills the hearts of good people.
They keep the Guide, the One, warmly in mind.
The faces of those in good company grow bright and glad.
And ill-will finds no place left to stand.
Santan kai man mahaa anand — great gladness fills the hearts of the good; joy is the atmosphere of good company. Sangat kay mukh oojal — faces grow bright, radiant with that inner gladness. The closing line, that ill-will 'loses all its places' (sagal thaan nindak kay ga-ay), is rendered so the accent stays on the brightness of the gathering: where goodness fills the room, ill-will simply finds nowhere to stand.
Have you noticed how being in a warm, kind group can actually change how people look?
