Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Keep the living image of the true Guru in your heart, and you receive the fruit your heart longs for.
The true One pours out grace. So how could such a one ever fear death?
Keep the Guru in your heart, and fear lets go of you.
Satgur kee moorat hirdai vasaa-ay — keep the form of the true Guru in your heart. Think of a photo of someone you love that you keep in your pocket. You carry it everywhere, and it makes you brave.
Jo ichhai so-ee fal paa-ay — you receive the fruit you long for. This means the heart's deepest longing, not every wish that pops up, like a new video game. The verse ends with a question: jam tay kaisaa darai, how could such a person be afraid of death? It is meant as comfort. Grace has melted the fear away completely.
Who or what do you like to keep in your heart to feel brave?
