ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮ ਰਸਨਾ ਕਹਨ ॥
har naam rasnaa kahan.
I chant the Lord's Name with my tongue.
ਮਲ ਪਾਪ ਕਲਮਲ ਦਹਨ ॥
mal paap kalmal dahan.
The filth of my sins and evil mistakes is burnt off.
ਚੜਿ ਨਾਵ ਸੰਤ ਉਧਾਰਿ ॥
charh naav sant uDhaar.
Climbing aboard the Boat of the Saints, I am emancipated.
ਭੈ ਤਰੇ ਸਾਗਰ ਪਾਰਿ ॥੨॥
bhai taray saagar paar. ||2||
I have been carried across the terrifying world-ocean. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I say the Naam with my tongue, and the old dust of my mistakes burns clean away.
Climbing aboard the boat of the saints, I am carried safely across even the widest, roughest water.
*Climb aboard with the saints, and you are carried safely across.*
har naam rasnaa kahan -- the Name spoken clears mal paap (the stain of wrongs). charh naav sant udhaar -- the boat of the saints ferries across bhai saagar (the fearsome ocean), rendered simply as the widest, roughest water safely crossed.
