Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
For one moment, the Lord showered me with kindness, and I sing the One's praises with joy upon joy.
The one who sings and the one who listens are both set free, when, facing the Guru, they drink in the Naam of the One, even for a moment.
Singing about the One frees the singer and the listener alike.
The verse says gaavat sunat do-oo bha-ay muktay: the one singing and the one hearing are both set free. Think of a song at a family gathering. It lifts the person singing. It also lifts everyone listening.
The Naam works like that. It frees whoever gives it voice and whoever takes it in. And it can happen in a khin, a single instant.
Have you ever felt lifted just by listening to someone else sing or speak from the heart?
