ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਤ ਗਾਵਤ ਭਏ ਨਿਹਾਲਾ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਤ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਅਘਾਈ ਸੰਤਹੁ ॥੪॥
gun gaavat gaavat bha-ay nihaalaa har simrat taripat aghaa-ee santahu. ||4||
Singing, singing His Glorious Praises, I am enraptured; meditating in remembrance on the Lord, I am satisfied and fulfilled, O Saints. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Singing the One's goodness, over and over, joy overflows in me.
Holding the One in mind, I am satisfied and full, O saints.
Keep singing what is good, and joy overflows on its own.
Gun gaavat gaavat — singing the virtues, and the doubling of the word carries the sense of going on and on until nihaalaa, overflowing delight, breaks through. Har simrat tripat aghaa-ee: remembrance brings the same deep fullness the earlier verses named. Praise here is not duty but overflow.
