Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listen, dear friends, to this good and heartfelt request — let's make one firm decision together.
In an easy, natural peace, troubles fall away as we sing the praises of the One who holds the whole universe.
Struggles quiet down, confusion clears, and the heart receives what it truly wished for.
Let's hold in mind the Name of the perfect, boundless One — the Supreme One that is everywhere.
When friends decide together to sing the One's praise, troubles start to settle.
This verse is a matant, a decision. It is made together, and made firm: pakaa-ee-ai, let's settle it. Notice all the "let's." Every line is an invitation, not an order.
The key words are sahj subhaa-ay, in natural, easy peace. The change is not forced or strained. Singing together leads toward ease and rest. Think of the way your shoulders drop when you finally sit down with people you love.
Upaadh rahat means free of trouble, and even free of violence. Bharam naaseh means confusion clears. Both describe the settling that singing brings.
Then the verse comes back to what this whole song keeps returning to. Naam dhi-aa-ee-ai — let's hold the Name in mind. That simple practice sits at the center of it all.
When has singing, or doing something joyful with others, made your worries quietly slip away?
