ਸਾਜਨ ਚਲੇ ਪਿਆਰਿਆ ਕਿਉ ਮੇਲਾ ਹੋਈ ॥
saajan chalay pi-aari-aa ki-o maylaa ho-ee.
My beloved friends have departed; how will they meet the Lord?
ਜੇ ਗੁਣ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਗੰਠੜੀਐ ਮੇਲੇਗਾ ਸੋਈ ॥੨॥
jay gun hoveh ganth-rhee-ai maylaygaa so-ee. ||2||
If they have virtue in their pack, the Lord will unite them with Himself. ||2||

Loved ones set out on the journey home. How will they come close to the One?
Whatever goodness they have gathered and carry with them — that is what gently brings them near.
The goodness you carry inside is what brings you close to the One.
saajan chalay pi-aari-aa — beloved companions set out; how will they draw near? jay gun hoveh ganth-rhee-ai, if virtue is tied in their bundle, the One unites them. What you carry inside is the passport home.
