Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Just taste the sweetness of the One, my friends — really taste it.
After that, how could any other taste pull you away?
After you've tasted the very best, the other flavors lose their pull.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Har ras jan chaakhahu jay bhaa-ee — friends, if you taste the sweetness of the One...
Ta-o kat anat saad lobhaa-ee — then how could anat saad, other flavors, tempt you? Think of a kid who has had fresh mango from the tree. After that, the mango candy from the store just doesn't taste like much.
One true taste changes what you want. Everything else you wanted finds its proper place behind it.
Has something so good ever made lesser versions stop appealing to you?
