Kabir, worship the Lord Allah; meditating in remembrance on Him, troubles and pains depart.
ਦਿਲ ਮਹਿ ਸਾਂਈ ਪਰਗਟੈ ਬੁਝੈ ਬਲੰਤੀ ਨਾਂਇ ॥੧੮੬॥
dil meh saaN-ee pargatai bujhai balantee naaN-ay. ||186||
The Lord shall be revealed within your own heart, and the burning fire within shall be extinguished by His Name. ||186||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kabir says: worship Allah, the One; remembering the One, pain goes away.
The Master will shine out inside your own heart, and the fire burning within will be put out by the Naam.
Remembering the One cools the fire inside.
Remembering the One puts out the fire inside.
Alah kee kar bandagee: worship Allah, a name for the One that Muslims use. Jih simrat dukh jaa-ay: by remembering, pain goes. The Master becomes pargatai, plain to see, inside the heart, and bujhai balantee, the burning is put out, by the Naam.
