Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A voice that sings out something good becomes beautiful in the singing — you can almost hear it glow.
When your thoughts, your body, and your words all point the same way, toward the One, that wholeness is lovely.
Whoever turns toward the Guru and tastes that sweetness is satisfied — it is a flavor nothing else can match.
Singing the praises of the Beloved again and again, day after day, quietly lifts a person up.
And that gift of song flows from mercy: grace is what puts the Guru's words on our lips in the first place.
A tongue that sings the One's praise is beautiful, and it is sweetest when mind, body and words sing together.
Two words carry this Pauri: rasnaa (tongue) and saad (taste) — the sensory delight of keertan, singing praise. man tan mukh — mind, body, and mouth all aligned — is what pleases the One, not the mouth alone. This is simran as sweetness, never a chore. The Gurmukhi speaks of the soul as "she" (saa), the bride-soul voice of Gurbani. The closing line grounds it all in da-i-aal — mercy: even the impulse to sing is a gift given, not a merit won.
Is there a song, or a set of words, that makes you feel more whole when you say or sing it?
