ਜਨਮ ਮਰਨ ਕਾ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਗਇਆ ਗੋਬਿਦ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗੀ ॥
janam maran kaa bharam ga-i-aa gobid liv laagee.
The illusion of birth and death is gone; I lovingly focus on the Lord of the Universe.
ਜੀਵਤ ਸੁੰਨਿ ਸਮਾਨਿਆ ਗੁਰ ਸਾਖੀ ਜਾਗੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jeevat sunn samaani-aa gur saakhee jaagee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
In my life, I am absorbed in deep silent meditation; the Guru's Teachings have awakened me. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The doubt of birth and death is gone; with love, I keep my attention on the One.
While I am alive, I rest in the deep quiet inside. The Guru's teaching has woken me up.
You can wake up to a deep quiet while fully alive.
janam maran kaa bharam ga-i-aa — the illusion of birth-and-death dissolves (the fear of it, not death itself). jeevat sunn samaani-aa — absorbed, while living, in sunn (the deep silence). gur saakhee jaagee — awakened by the Guru's teaching. This is liberation in this life.
