Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I would gladly do the smallest, humblest things for someone truly good — anything to be near their goodness.
I bow low, honoring the ground they walk on, happy just to be close.
This verse shows how glad a heart can be to serve someone truly good.
Kaysaa kaa kar beejnaa sant cha-ur dhulaava-o: I make my own hair into a fan and wave it over the holy one. A cha-ur is the whisk that is waved over something honored, like the Guru Granth Sahib today.
Sees nihaara-o charan tal dhoor mukh laava-o: I bow my head to their feet and touch the dust of their path to my face.
These are big, over-the-top pictures on purpose. They show service that is glad and forgets itself. Think of a young fan who gets to carry the water bottles for a team they love. It isn't a chore. It is an honor, and they'd do it all day.
What is a small, humble thing you could do for someone you admire?
