Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the One, my King, is glad with me, the ropes that tie me to worry fall away, and my mind soaks in the guiding Word.
Then there is joy, always and forever, in meeting the Fearless One who holds the whole world.
Nanak says: resting at the One's feet, I have found peace.
When the One is glad, the ropes fall away and joy stays.
Suparsan gopaal raa-ay — when the One, my King, is fully pleased with me. Then the banDhan, the ropes of grasping, are cut. The mind becomes raataa, dyed in the Guru's Word, like cloth soaked in color.
The One is nirbhai gobind, the Fearless One who cares for the whole world. And Nanak finds peace har charan paraataa, resting at the One's feet. It is like a tired child curling up at a parent's feet, safe and at peace.
What worry would you most like to feel fall away?
