Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Staying close at the Guru's feet, my pain has gone away.
The highest One has been kind to me.
Everything I wished for and every task I had is complete.
Nanak says: singing the Naam of the One, I live.
Staying close to the Guru, pain lifts, and the One's kindness fills every need.
Gur charan sarayvat dukh ga-i-aa means that by staying at the Guru's feet, pain goes away. Sitting at someone's feet is an old way of saying you stay near them, humbly, ready to listen. Paarbarahm parabh karee ma-i-aa: the highest One, Paarbarahm, has shown kindness.
Sarab manorath pooran kaam means every wish and every task is complete. Jap jeevai naanak raam naam: Nanak lives by repeating the Naam. Think of a plant that lives on sunlight. The Naam is the light Nanak lives on.
Where do you go to sit when you want your worries to quiet down?
