Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Speaking the Naam makes your mouth pure.
Remembering the One makes your good name spotless.
Worship the One, and death has no power to frighten you.
Serve the One, and you receive everything.
The words you speak can make you cleaner inside.
Speaking and remembering the Naam makes you clean inside and brings you everything.
jis bolatt mukh pavitt ho-ay — the Naam purifies speech. jam kichh na kahai — death has nothing to say to the one who worships the One.
