I lovingly chant the Truth, through the True Word of the Shabad.

My mind remains forever imbued with the Love of the True Lord. I am immersed in the Truest of the True. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The words I most want to speak are the sweet, true teachings of the Guru.

Singing the truth with love, my heart soaks in the One until I melt into the Truest of the True.

Let the words you speak be the sweet, true ones.
The deeper layer

Speech is shaped by the amrit bani. Loving remembrance leads to immersion in the Truest of the True.

A Question to Sit With

What is a true thing you love to say out loud?
