Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

By the kindness of the saints, I sing the praises of the One.

Nanak says: meeting the Guru, I have found peace.

Kind, holy people and singing together can lead a restless heart to peace.
The deeper layer

The kindness of holy people leads to singing, and meeting the Guru brings peace.

Sant parsaad: by the grace of the saints. Har kay gun gaa-i-aa: I sang the One's praises. Gur bhaytat naanak sukh paa-i-aa: meeting the Guru, Nanak found peace. A short, settled close: the ache of Kaanraa brought to rest.
