Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam of the One is sweet nectar. The one who drinks it is the one the One has made thirsty.
In kindness, the One leads that person to the Guru, and there, at last, they taste the sweet nectar of the Naam.
The Name is sweet nectar, and the thirsty heart is the one that drinks it.
Har kaa naam amrit — the Name of the One is amrit, sweet nectar. So pee-ai jis raam pi-aasee — the one who drinks it is the one who has been given the thirst. Even the thirst is a gift of grace.
Da-i-aa kar maylai — the One kindly leads that heart to the Guru. There it chakhaasee, it tastes the sweetness at last.
Saarang is a raag of the rainy season, so thirst runs all through it. Think of a cold glass of water after a long game on a hot day. Water always tastes good, but it tastes best when you are truly thirsty.
Have you noticed that wanting something deeply makes it sweeter when it comes?
