Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A heart touched by kindness turns to remember the One.
Day and night, it keeps a quiet, glad song going.
Once kindness has touched a heart, remembering the One becomes a joy that hums all day.
Jis no nadar karay so dhi-aa-ay: the one who receives the One's kind glance keeps the One in mind. Nadar means a look of grace, a kind gaze.
Aath pahar har kay gun gaa-ay: all day and night, that person sings of the One's goodness. Aath pahar means the eight watches of the day, so all around the clock.
This is not a chore. Think of humming your favorite tune while you do homework or wash dishes. It just keeps playing in the background. Remembering becomes a steady gladness woven through the whole day.
What good thing could hum quietly in the background of your whole day?
