Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My sorrows have ended and I am full of peace; the fire of wanting inside me has cooled right down.
The true teaching planted the treasure of the Name in me — and it does not die, and it does not go anywhere.
A shabad of arrival and rest. "The fire of desire" — the restless burning that never lets a person settle — is "quenched," and in its place, peace. What put the fire out was not willpower but a treasure planted: the Name, described again by its permanence, "it neither dies, nor goes anywhere." Desire burns because it chases things that flee; when something that stays is planted in the heart, the fire has nothing left to feed on.
What keeps the 'fire of wanting' burning in you — and what, if it stayed, might finally cool it?
