ਪਰਾ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਜਿਸਹਿ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਬਿਰਲਾ ਪਾਏ ਕੋਇ ॥
paraa poorab jisahi likhi-aa birlaa paa-ay ko-ay.
How rare is that person who has such pre-ordained destiny, to find the Lord.
ਰਵਣ ਗੁਣ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਕਰਤੇ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਸਚੁ ਜੋਇ ॥੨॥੧੦੨॥੧੨੫॥
ravan gun gopaal kartay naankaa sach jo-ay. ||2||102||125||
Chanting the Glorious Praises of the Creator, the Lord of the Universe - O Nanak, this is Truth. ||2||102||125||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Rare and lucky is the heart that finds the One.
Nanak says: singing the praises of the Creator, the maker of everything — this is what is true.
Singing of the Creator is the truest thing there is.
Rare is the heart that finds this; and singing the Creator's praises is named Truth itself (sach). What is rare stays open to anyone; few turn toward it.
