Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the bride lights up with joy at seeing her Beloved, the One, then her decorations are true.
Joined with the spotless One, who belongs to no family line, she becomes the truest of the true. Following the Guru's teaching, she leans on the Naam for support.
Your loveliest decoration is a heart that lights up near the One.
Apunay pir har daykh vigaasee — the bride's heart lights up when she sees her beloved. Ta-o Dhan saach seegaaro — then her decoration is true. Think of fancy clothes compared with a warm smile. The smile is the thing people remember.
Akul niranjan si-o — she is joined to the One who is akul, with no family line, and niranjan, spotless. In a world that ranked people by birth, this quietly says that birth and rank mean nothing to the One.
Gurmat naam aDhaaro — following the Guru's teaching, she leans on the Name. The Name is the support that holds her whole weight.
What is a kind of beauty that has nothing to do with how something looks?
