Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the meeting finally came, all I longed for came true. The walls of doubt came crashing down.
The One gives every treasure and is kind to the humble.
From beginning to middle to end, the One has always been there. Even the most overlooked person is made clean and filled with joy.
This one says the One was there at the start, all the way through, and at the end.
The song closes with longing fulfilled. Dhaathee bheet bharamm kee — the wall of doubt came crashing down, on meeting the brave Guru. Doubt is like a fort with high walls that boxes you in. When you meet true wisdom, the walls fall.
Then the view widens. Aad maDh ant parabh so-ee — in the beginning, the middle, and the end, it is God. Think of a long car trip with a parent driving the whole way, even while you sleep. There was never a moment you were outside the One's care.
The kindness is for everyone. The dust of the feet of holy people, a picture of humble company, makes people clean again. It brings joy and deep peace even to those the world calls wrongdoers. Longing met, doubt knocked down, everyone welcome: that is how the song ends.
What 'wall of doubt' would you love to see come down in your own heart?
