ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਕਲਿ ਕੀਰਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਵਣੇ ॥
mayray man kal keerat har parvanay.
O my mind, in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga, the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises is worthy and commendable.
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਦਇਆਲਿ ਦਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਧਾਰੀ ਲਗਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਣੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
har har da-i-aal da-i-aa parabh Dhaaree lag satgur har japnay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
When the Merciful Lord God shows kindness and compassion, then one falls at the feet of the True Guru, and meditates on the Lord. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Singing about the good is a beautiful, worthy thing to do, especially in a mixed-up time.
When kindness reaches us, we turn toward wisdom and remember the good.
Singing about the good together is a beautiful, worthy thing — especially when times feel mixed-up.
The rahao: "in this Dark Age, the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises is worthy and commendable." Kirtan — singing the good together — is named the fitting practice for a confused time (Kali Yuga); its very simplicity is a mercy. For a child: singing about the good together is a beautiful, worthy thing, especially when times feel mixed-up.
