Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One lifts up every being and creature, giving them the gift of His sight.
How wonderful is the greatness of the perfect Teacher — I could give myself to that forever.
The One lifts up every single being, and Nanak is filled with wonder and thanks.
Jee-a jant prabh sagal udhaaray — God lifts up all beings and creatures. Notice the word sagal, all. No one is left out.
Darsan daykhanhaaray — the One gives them a loving look. Darsan means seeing the One, and being seen.
Gur pooray kee achraj vadi-aa-ee — how wonderful is the greatness of the perfect Guru. Achraj means amazing, the kind of thing that makes you go quiet with wonder.
Naanak sad balihaaray — Nanak gives himself to that, forever. It is the language of a heart so full of thanks that it spills over, like a cup under a running tap.
What is something so good it makes you want to give something back?
