ਨਾਮੇ ਦਰਗਹ ਮੁਖ ਉਜਲੇ ॥
naamay dargeh mukh ujlay.
Through the Naam, one's face becomes radiant in the Court of the Lord.
ਨਾਮੇ ਸਗਲੇ ਕੁਲ ਉਧਰੇ ॥
naamay saglay kul uDhray.
Through the Naam, all one's generations are saved.
ਨਾਮਿ ਹਮਾਰੇ ਕਾਰਜ ਸੀਧ ॥
naam hamaaray kaaraj seeDh.
Through the Naam, my affairs are resolved.
ਨਾਮ ਸੰਗਿ ਇਹੁ ਮਨੂਆ ਗੀਧ ॥੩॥
naam sang ih manoo-aa geeDh. ||3||
My mind is accustomed to the Naam. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Holding the Name, a person stands bright and clear before the One, and whole families are lifted along with them.
My tasks fall into place, and my mind has grown so used to the Name that it feels like home.
Live with the Name long enough and it stops being a practice and becomes home.
Mukh ujlay — a radiant, unashamed face before the One — comes through the Name. Its blessing is not private: saglay kul udhray, generations are uplifted. And manoo-aa geedh — the mind grows accustomed, settled into the Name like a bird into its nest. The Name becomes not a task but a home.
