The sweet, subtle essence of the Lord is immortalizing ambrosia. Meeting the Saints, I drink it in. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O One, my mind longs to meet Your humble servants.

Your sweet essence is a nectar that gives life without end. Meeting the saints, I drink it in.

The sweetness of the One is meant to be tasted together.
The deeper layer

The sweetness of the One is tasted together. Amiou (or amrit) is the deathless nectar; har ras is the taste, the essence, of the One; meethaa is simply sweet. And it is shared: meeting the saints, it reaches the mouth (mil sant janaa mukh paavai). The longing itself (man bhaavai) is the doorway in.

A Question to Sit With

What good thing tastes even better when you share it?
