ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਕੀ ਹੈ ਸਾਚੀ ਬਾਣੀ ॥
tis jan kee hai saachee banee.
True is the speech of that humble being;
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਜਗ ਮਾਹਿ ਸਮਾਣੀ ॥
gur kai sabad jag maahi samaanee.
through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, it is spread throughout the world.
ਚਹੁ ਜੁਗ ਪਸਰੀ ਸਾਚੀ ਸੋਇ ॥
chahu jug pasree saachee so-ay.
Throughout the four ages, his fame and glory spread.
ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤਾ ਜਨੁ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੨॥
naam rataa jan pargat ho-ay. ||2||
Imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the Lord's humble servant is recognized and renowned. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
True are the words of that humble person.
Through the Guru's Word, they spread through the world.
Through all four ages, their true glory spreads.
Dyed in the Naam, that humble person becomes known to all.
Words from a true heart carry further than loud ones.
A person dyed in the Naam speaks true words, and their glory spreads far.
Saachee banee is true speech; chahu jug pasree saachee so-ay means a true renown spreading through all four ages. Renown here is the natural light of an aligned life, not fame chased for its own sake.
