Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
From the very beginning the One gathers loving hearts to itself.
It sets them to the work of devotion.
Singing through the true Word, they earn the profit of this life.
The profit of a life is love for the One.
Is janmai kaa laahaa — the profit of this human life. In a world of trade and earnings, the gain that lasts is bhagtee, loving devotion, sung through the saachee banee. Life is a chance to earn what lasts.
