Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
To stay awake, to stay awake: sweet is the night spent singing the praises of the One.
When song fills the hours, even a long night feels bright.
The best way to stay awake at night is singing the One's praises.
Jaagnaa means staying awake, keeping watch. The word is doubled, like a chant. Har keertan meh jaagnaa: stay awake in kirtan, singing songs of praise together.
A night awake can be full of worry. Here it is filled with music instead. Think of a family night when everyone stays up late singing around the table. No one watches the clock. The hours feel warm and shared.
So the wakeful night becomes a gift, not a burden.
What song lifts you up when you cannot sleep?
