ਸਚੈ ਲਾਏ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਲਾਗੇ ॥
sachai laa-ay say jan laagay.
They alone are attached to the True Name, whom the Lord Himself attaches.
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਮਸਤਕਿ ਵਡਭਾਗੇ ॥
antar sabad mastak vadbhaagay.
The Word of the Shabad is deep within the nucleus of the self; good fortune is recorded upon their foreheads.
ਸਚੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਦਾ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਰਤੇ ਵੀਚਾਰੀ ਹੇ ॥੩॥
sachai sabad sadaa gun gaavahi sabad ratay veechaaree hay. ||3||
Through the True Word of the Shabad, they sing the True Praises of the Lord; they are attuned to contemplative meditation on the Shabad. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Something quietly draws certain hearts toward what is true, the way a plant leans toward the light.
The living Word rests deep inside them, and good fortune is written across their days.
They sing with joy, their minds resting in the One they love.
Being drawn toward what is real is itself a gift.
Sachai laa-ay say jan laagay — they are joined to the True only when the One joins them. This is grace, not achievement: the sabad (the living Word) is already antar, deep within. The singing here is simran, holding the One in loving attention.
