ਚਲੁ ਦਰਹਾਲੁ ਦੀਵਾਨਿ ਬੁਲਾਇਆ ॥
chal darhaal deevaan bulaa-i-aa.
Get going! Come just as you are! You have been summoned to His Court.
ਹਰਿ ਫੁਰਮਾਨੁ ਦਰਗਹ ਕਾ ਆਇਆ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
har furmaan dargeh kaa aa-i-aa. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Order has come from the Court of the Lord. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Life keeps moving, and it gently calls each of us to move with it — to keep growing, keep loving, keep going forward.
When that call comes, we can meet it with trust instead of worry, because it comes from the same One who has cared for us all along.
Life calls us onward; we can meet the call with trust, not worry.
chal darhaal deevaan bulaa-i-aa — the call to come onward. har furmaan dargeh kaa aa-i-aa — the summons comes from the One's own Court. Rendered as the flow of existence (Hukam) calling us onward, met with trust rather than dread. This is the shabad's Pause/keynote.
