ਭਈ ਮਿਤ੍ਰਾਈ ਮਿਟੀ ਬੁਰਾਈ ਦ੍ਰੁਸਟ ਦੂਤ ਹਰਿ ਕਾਢੇ ਛਾਣਿ ॥
bha-ee mitraa-ee mitee buraa-ee darusat doot har kaadhay chhaan.
I have found friendship, and hatred has been eradicated; the Lord has rooted out the enemies and villains.
ਸੂਖ ਸਹਜ ਆਨੰਦ ਘਨੇਰੇ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀਵੈ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣਹ ਵਖਾਣਿ ॥੨॥੨੬॥੧੧੨॥
sookh sahj aanand ghanayray naanak jeevai har gunah vakhaan. ||2||26||112||
Nanak has been blessed with celestial peace and poise and total bliss; chanting the Glorious Praises of the Lord, he lives. ||2||26||112||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Friendship has grown where bad feeling used to be, and the One has rooted out the harm and the troublemakers.
Nanak says: ease, calm and joy came pouring in; I come alive by singing the goodness of the One.
When ill-will dissolves, friendship has room to grow in its place.
Where ill-will melts away, friendship grows in its place.
Bha-ee mitraa-ee mitee buraa-ee — friendship grows as ill-will dissolves, a picture of making up. Sookh sahj aanand ghanayray — peace, ease and joy in plenty. Naanak jeevai har gunah vakhaan — Nanak lives by singing the One's goodness. Think of two friends who finally talk after a fight and both feel lighter right away.
