Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The great burning inside me has cooled into peace. At the Guru's touch, the wrongs that weighed on me ran away.
I had fallen into a deep, dark pit, and a Hand reached in and pulled me out.
Help arrives just when it is needed.
Mahaa tapat tay bha-ee saaNt — the great burning has cooled into peace. Tapat is the heat of a worried, self-driven mind. Parsat paap naathay — at the Guru's touch, the wrongs that weighed on me ran away.
Andh koop meh galat thay kaadhay day haathay — I had fallen into a dark pit, and a Hand reached down and pulled me out. Andh koop means a dark well. This is rescue by grace, a lift from above. Think of slipping in a pool and feeling a lifeguard's hand grab yours.
When has someone reached out a hand just when you needed it?
