Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I sing to the One truly worth singing to, there is really no other like that One.
The people who love the One are good company to keep; the Word and its love have soaked right into them.
Sit with them, and together you churn up the sweet essence of things, and joy rises to the top.
Praise the One who is truly worth praising, and sit with people who love that One.
Saalaahee salaahnaa — "I praise the Praiseworthy." Doojaa avar na ko-ay — there is no other like that One.
The people who praise the One are good to be around. Sabad ratay rang ho-ay — they are soaked in the Shabad, the Guru's Word, and dyed in its love, like a white shirt dipped in bright color.
Then comes the gift of sangat, good company. Ras lai tat vilo-ay — sitting with them, you churn out the essence and taste the joy. Think of making butter by churning milk. You keep stirring, and the richest part rises to the top. Good company works like that. Together, the best part of things comes up, and joy rises with it.
How do the people around you change what rises to the top in you?
