Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru's Word is sweet beyond all sweetness.
Such is the nectar I see deep inside.
Whoever tastes it reaches the highest, fullest state.
Nanak says: they are satisfied, and their bodies are at peace.
The Guru's Word is the sweetest taste, and it fills you all the way through.
The closing verse savors the sweetness of the Shabad. Gur kaa sabad mahaa ras meethaa: the Guru's word is supremely sweet, aisaa amrit antar deethaa, such nectar seen deep within. Jin chaakhi-aa pooraa pad ho-ay, those who taste it reach the perfect state; Naanak dharaapi-o tan sukh ho-ay, satisfied through and through, even the body comes to rest. This is the deep satiation of the Name, a fullness that quiets every other hunger.
What fills you up so completely that you do not want anything else for a while?
