ਓਇ ਜਾਗਤ ਰਹਹਿ ਨ ਸੂਤੇ ਦੀਸਹਿ ॥
o-ay jaagat raheh na sootay deeseh.
They remain awake and aware, and do not appear to sleep.
ਸੰਗਤਿ ਕੁਲ ਤਾਰੇ ਸਾਚੁ ਪਰੀਸਹਿ ॥
sangat kul taaray saach pareeseh.
They serve up Truth, and so save their companions and relatives.
ਕਲਿਮਲ ਮੈਲੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਤੇ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਓਇ ਰਹਹਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੪॥
kalimal mail naahee tay nirmal o-ay raheh bhagat liv laa-ee hay. ||4||
They are not stained with the filth of sins; they are immaculate and pure, and remain absorbed in loving devotional worship. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The awake ones stay aware and do not drift off.
They share what is true, and in doing so they lift up everyone around them.
Their hearts stay clear and bright, at rest in loving devotion.
Staying awake and sharing truth lifts up everyone around me.
Wakefulness again, now paired with generosity: those who serve up truth save their companions too. No stain of wrongdoing clings to them; their hearts stay clear and bright.
