ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਰਹਿ ਫਿਰਿ ਜੀਵਹਿ ਤਿਨ ਕਉ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਦੁਆਰਿ ॥
gur kai sabad mareh fir jeeveh tin ka-o mukat du-aar.
Those who die in the Word of the Guru's Shabad are reborn; they find the door of liberation.
ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖਿਆ ਉਰ ਧਾਰਿ ॥੩॥
antar saaNt sadaa sukh hovai har raakhi-aa ur Dhaar. ||3||
With constant peace and tranquility deep within, they enshrine the Lord within their hearts. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who die in the Guru's Word come alive again, and they find the door to freedom.
Deep inside they have peace and calm that last, and they keep the One held close in their hearts.
Let the small self quiet, and a door opens into steady peace.
Let the old self die in the Guru's Word, and a new life begins at the door of freedom.
Gur kai sabad mareh fir jeeveh: those who die in the Guru's Word live again. What dies is the proud, grabbing self, the way a seed breaks open so a plant can grow. Mukat du-aar: the door of freedom. Har raakhi-aa ur dhaar: they keep the One held in the heart, and saant, peace, stays inside.
