ਸੇਵਕ ਸੇਵਹਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਲਾਹਹਿ ॥
sayvak sayveh sabad salaaheh.
His servants serve, and praise His Shabad.
ਸਦਾ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤੇ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਹਿ ॥
sadaa rang raatay har gun gaavahi.
Imbued forever with the color of His Love, they sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.
ਆਪੇ ਬਖਸੇ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਪਰਮਲ ਵਾਸੁ ਮਨਿ ਤਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੧॥
aapay bakhsay sabad milaa-ay parmal vaas man taahaa hay. ||11||
He Himself forgives, and unites them with the Shabad; the fragrance of sandalwood permeates their minds. ||11||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who love the One serve gladly and sing out their thanks.
Coloured through with that love, they carry a sweetness about them, like the fragrance of sandalwood that spreads without even trying.
A heart full of love spreads sweetness the way sandalwood spreads its scent.
Devotion overflows into song, and forgiveness unites. The sandalwood image shows how grace makes a life quietly fragrant to everyone nearby.
