Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The True Guru has shown me the true, highest Master.
Sweet nectar rains down and my mind is content, staying lovingly close to the True One.
In the Naam of the One, it stays green forever. It will never dry up or wilt again.
When the Guru shows us the One, it feels like rain falling on dry ground, and the heart turns green.
Malaar is the raag, or music, of the rainy season. Its songs often feel like dry land waiting for the monsoon. Here the rain arrives. Amrit varsai man santokhee-ai: nectar rains down, and the mind is content. Amrit means sweet, life-giving nectar.
Then comes the best part. Har kai naa-ay sadaa haree-aavalee: in the Name, the heart stays green forever. It will never dry up or wilt again. Think of a garden after a long, dry summer, when the first good rain comes. The longing of the rainy-season songs is answered here, fully.
What keeps a part of you feeling fresh and alive, even when things get hard?
