Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Waaho! Waaho! Wow, how wonderful! The true Word, the Bani, is wonderful. Only a few, turned toward the Guru, understand it.
Waaho! Waaho! Praise the One and say how great the One is! No one else is as great.
When grace comes, the One Itself forgives me and draws me close.
Waaho! is the happy "wow!" the heart makes when it sees how great the One is.
Vaahu vaahu means "wow, wow!" It is part of the word Waheguru, a Sikh name for the One. It is the sound you make seeing a huge waterfall or the night sky full of stars. The verse says the true Word is that wonderful. But only a few, the gurmukh who turn toward the Guru, understand it.
So we praise the One, because no one else is as great. Then grace does the rest. The One forgives us and pulls us close. We don't earn it. It is a gift. Wonder is the doorway in.
What has made you say "wow" from the very bottom of your heart?
