Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
What could I ever say that is grand enough? The One completely fills every place there is. It wins every heart and makes each one beautiful; and when the breath of life is gently drawn back, the body returns quietly to the earth.
So why wait to hold the One close? Come together with holy people and do it now — the right moment always arrives sooner than you think. All your things, all your money, everything you can see and touch — none of it travels on with you. Only the One stays. Nanak says: keep the One in your heart, always. What praise could ever be big enough?
kaun upmaa — what praise could ever be big enough? pooran poor rahi-o, the One fills every place. manmohan, the heart-winner, adorns each heart; jab khinchai tab chhaa-ee — when the breath of life is drawn back, the body returns quietly to the earth. The call is aaraadhahu: hold the One close, together with the saadh, the holy people, now — for arath darab, wealth and things, travels on with no one.
If you could only keep things you cannot hold in your hands, what would you keep?
