ਕੁਲ ਸਮੂਹ ਉਧਰੇ ਖਿਨ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਜਨਮ ਜਨਮ ਕੀ ਮਲੁ ਲਾਹੀ ॥
kul samooh uDhray khin bheetar janam janam kee mal laahee.
All his generations are redeemed and saved in an instant, and the filth of countless incarnations is washed away.
ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਅਪਨਾ ਅਨਦ ਸੇਤੀ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਬਨੁ ਗਾਹੀ ॥੧॥
simar simar su-aamee parabh apnaa anad saytee bikhi-aa ban gaahee. ||1||
Meditating, meditating in remembrance on God, his Lord and Master, he passes blissfully through the forest of poison. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In a single moment, whole families are lifted, and the grime of ages washes off.
Remembering, remembering the One I belong to, I walk right through the tangled, poisonous woods of this world — and I walk through them glad.
You can pass through hard, tangled places and still be glad.
kul samooh uDhray khin bheetar — a lift that reaches beyond the individual to their people. bikhi-aa ban gaahee — crossing the ban, the forest of poison (the world's traps and temptations) — and anad saytee, with a glad heart all the way.
