Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All your hopes will be fulfilled, and the pain of millions of births and deaths will be gone.
Remembering the One fills the hopes you carry today, and lets go of very old sorrow too.
The verse says sagal aas hot pooran: "all hopes are fulfilled." Aas means hope. Pooran means full, complete.
Then: kot janam dukh jaa-ay, "the pain of millions of births goes away." Kot means millions. Dukh means pain.
So this one short line promises two things. The first is for now: the hopes you carry today. The second is for the long past: sorrow carried so long you almost forgot it was there. It is like cleaning your room. You put away today's mess. Then you finally find that old box in the corner and clear it out too.
What is a hope you are carrying right now?
