ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਾ ਜੇ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਭਾਵਾ ॥
har kay gun gaavaa jay har parabh bhaavaa.
I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, as I am pleasing to the Lord God.
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ॥
antar har naam sabad suhaavaa.
With the Lord's Name deep within my inner being, I am adorned with the Word of the Shabad.
ਗੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਚਹੁ ਕੁੰਡੀ ਸੁਣੀਐ ਸਾਚੈ ਨਾਮਿ ਸਮਾਇਦਾ ॥੩॥
gurbaanee chahu kundee sunee-ai saachai naam samaa-idaa. ||3||
The Word of the Guru's Bani is heard throughout the four corners of the world; through it, we merge in the True Name. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I sing the praises of the One, and it is a joy to the Beloved. With the Name held deep inside, the word dresses me like fine clothes.
The true song rings out to all four corners of the world, and through it we blend into the True Name.
The truest song reaches every corner and dresses the one who sings it.
The Bani (the sacred word) is heard throughout the four corners — an image of the song reaching everywhere. Being adorned with the Shabad suggests the word becomes one's finest garment, worn inwardly.
