Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Very fortunate is the bride in whose home the Husband lives.

All her decorations suit her; she is the happy bride.

I sleep in peace, free of worry. The hopes of my mind are fulfilled.

O Lord! When my Husband came home, I found everything.

When the One lives in your heart, worry loosens and you are home.
The deeper layer

When the One comes to live in the heart, worry falls away and every hope is filled.

Jis ghar vasi-aa kant: the home where the Husband lives. Saa vadbhaagnay: she is very fortunate. The bride is any soul, and the home is the heart.

Ha-o sutee ho-ay achint: I sleep free of worry. Man aas puraa-ee-aa: the mind's hopes are fulfilled. When the Beloved comes home, nothing is missing.

A Question to Sit With

What does it feel like when a deep hope is finally filled?
