Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O rainbird, you do not know your Master's home. Say your prayer, and see that home.
You talk a lot, just as you please, but that talk is not accepted.
Your Master is a great Giver. Whatever you wish for, you receive.
And not only the poor little rainbird's thirst — the thirst of the whole world goes away.
Humble prayer opens the way to the Master's home, and the Giver is generous enough for the whole world's thirst.
A salok of the Third Mehl. Mahal, the Mansion, is the felt presence of the One. Lots of talk, just as we please, is set beside ardaas, humble prayer. Khasam vadaa daataar: the Master is the great Giver. The little bird's thirst opens into the whole world's thirst.
If you got quiet right now, what would you honestly ask for?
