Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one He blesses remembers Him, says His Name every day, and finds peace.
By the Guru's grace the sweetness comes. Remembering the One, you are carried across.
Turning toward the One is itself a gift.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the song. Jis no kirpaa karay so dhi-aavai: only the one given kirpaa (kindness, grace) remembers the One. Even the wish to pray is a gift.
That person chants the Name every day and finds peace. Gur parsaadee har ras aavai: by the Guru's grace, the ras comes, the sweet taste of the One. Think of a favorite song that gets sweeter each time you hear it. Remembering the One each day is a bit like that.
And that remembering carries you across, like a bridge over a wide river.
What is a small daily thing that brings you peace?
