Dear Sukhi ji,
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
‘Singing of Shabad’ means ‘ਸ਼ਬਦ ਨੂੰ ਗਾਉਣਾ’ whereas ‘Recitation of Shabad’ means ‘ਸ਼ਬਦ ਦਾ ਪਾਠ ਕਰਨਾ’। This makes it clear that when one ‘performs Keertan’, he/she is ‘Singing the Shabad’ whereas when one is ‘doing Paath’, he/she is ‘reciting the Shabad’. I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
Regards,
Your Brother
Thanks
