Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My fear of birth and death has been wiped away.
In the Sangat, the upside-down lotus of my heart has turned up and bloomed.
Singing the One's praises, I have found a peace that stays.
All my tasks are done, whole and complete.
The fear of birth and death lifts, and the closed heart opens like a flower.
Janam maran kee mitee jam traas: the fear of birth and death, and of the jam, the messenger of death, has lifted. It is the fear of endings.
Saadhsangat oondh kamal bigaas: in the Sangat, the upside-down lotus of the heart turns up and blooms.
Think of a flower bud that has been shut all night. In the morning sun, it slowly opens.
Gun gaavat nihchal bisraam: singing the One's goodness, I find a steady peace. Nihchal means unshakable. Pooran ho-ay saglay kaam: all my tasks come out whole and complete.
What helps your heart open up when it has been closed off?
