var naaree mil mangal gaa-i-aa thaakur kaa jaikaar.
Husband and wife join together in rejoicing, celebrating the Victory of the Lord Master.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਈਐ ਜੋ ਸਭਨਾ ਕਰੇ ਉਧਾਰੁ ॥੨॥੨੩॥
kaho naanak jan ka-o bal jaa-ee-ai jo sabhnaa karay uDhaar. ||2||23||
Says Nanak, I am a sacrifice to the humble servant of the Lord, who emancipates everyone. ||2||23||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Husband and wife rejoice together, celebrating the One's victory.
Nanak says: I am a sacrifice to the servant of the One, who sets everyone free.
The joy of rescue isn't solitary — it's celebrated together, in the home, and it's a joy meant to be shared.
The close bursts into shared celebration — "husband and wife join together in rejoicing." The joy of rescue is not solitary; it is celebrated in relationship, in the home. And gratitude widens to "the humble servant... who emancipates everyone": the rescue is for all, and the joy is meant to be shared.
A Question to Sit With
When something wonderful happens, who do you most want to celebrate it with?
