Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your saints have beaten the whole army of wrong wants that marches inside.
They lean on You and put their trust in You, O my Lord and Master. They come to You for shelter.
The hardest battle is the one inside you, and it is won by leaning on the One.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Bikhai dal santan tumrai gaahi-o: Your saints have trampled the army of wrong wants. Tumree tayk bharosaa thaakur: Your support, my faith, O Master. Saran tumaaree aahi-o: they seek Your shelter.
Think of a child who is scared of the dark. Holding a parent's hand, the fear grows quiet. The saints win the same way: by leaning.
What inner struggle feels easier when you lean on someone you trust?
