Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even if you feel swept off your feet and lost, there's a way back — the path the teaching shows.
Hold the True Name, and you'll find a calm that feels like coming home to a warm room inside you.
Our time here is short, like a visit of just a few days, so it's worth finding that calm now.
Sit quietly in the home of your own heart, and you'll find what's real, with the One close by, day and night. Everyone, listen: that peace grows from love.
Real peace is found at home, inside your own heart.
Nij ghar jaa-ay bahai — go and sit in the home of your own being. Nij ghar means your own innermost home. The peace Guru Nanak points to is not in some faraway mansion. It is like the calm of your own room after a long, noisy day. It was there all along, waiting for you to come in.
Pay-ee-arhai din chaaray — our stay in this world is just "four days," a short visit. This is a gentle reminder to turn toward home now. It is said with care, not to make us afraid.
What helps you feel like you've come home to yourself?
