During Sikh weddings, the first
pauri (stanza) of this
Sabad is often recited at the arrival of the groom’s wedding procession. The entire Sabad equates the joy experienced on the arrival of the wedding procession with the bliss arising from joining the company of virtuous beings. Through the grace of IkOankar (the Divine), the being has received their company and love for IkOankar. Now, the mind sings joyous praises of IkOankar and is drenched in the Nam of IkOankar. The cycle of birth and death has also ceased.
