Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I serve at the feet of the holy saints.
I long for the dust of their feet, which makes me pure and clean.
Like bathing at the sixty-eight holy places, it washes all the dirt away.
With every single breath I remember the One, and I never turn my face away.
Of all your thousands and millions, nothing will go along with you.
Only the Naam of the One will call to you at the end.
Serving holy people and remembering the One with every breath washes the heart clean, and only the Naam goes with you at the end.
Sayva-o saaDh sant charnayrai: I serve at the feet of the holy saints. Baanchha-o Dhoor pavitar karayrai: I long for the dust that makes pure. Athsath majan mail katayrai: like bathing at the sixty-eight holy places of pilgrimage, it washes the dirt away. The pilgrimage is turned inward: humility does what the sacred sites promise. Saas saas Dhi-aavahu: remember with every breath. Kichh sang na chaalai laakh karorai: of thousands and millions, nothing goes along. Parabh jee ko naam ant pakrorai: only the One's Naam calls to you at the end.
What makes your heart feel clean and light inside?
