ਢਾਢੀ ਤਿਸ ਨੋ ਆਖੀਐ ਜਿ ਖਸਮੈ ਧਰੇ ਪਿਆਰੁ ॥

dtaadtee tis no aakheeai ji khasamai dhare piaar |

He alone is called a minstrel, who enshrines love for his Lord and Master.

ਦਰਿ ਖੜਾ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰੇ ਗੁਰਸਬਦੀ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥

dar kharraa sevaa kare gurasabadee veechaar |

Standing at the Lord's Door, he serves the Lord, and reflects upon the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

ਢਾਢੀ ਦਰੁ ਘਰੁ ਪਾਇਸੀ ਸਚੁ ਰਖੈ ਉਰ ਧਾਰਿ ॥

dtaadtee dar ghar paaeisee sach rakhai ur dhaar |

The minstrel attains the Lord's Gate and Mansion, and he keeps the True Lord clasped to his heart.

ਢਾਢੀ ਕਾ ਮਹਲੁ ਅਗਲਾ ਹਰਿ ਕੈ ਨਾਇ ਪਿਆਰਿ ॥

dtaadtee kaa mehal agalaa har kai naae piaar |

The status of the minstrel is exalted; he loves the Name of the Lord.

ਢਾਢੀ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਚਾਕਰੀ ਹਰਿ ਜਪਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਿਸਤਾਰਿ ॥੧੮॥

dtaadtee kee sevaa chaakaree har jap har nisataar |18|

The service of the minstrel is to meditate on the Lord; he is emancipated by the Lord. ||18||
