Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remembering the One, fear and pain are lifted off you.
Remembering, hard turns are softened. Remembering, old mistakes wash clean. Remembering, aching quiets down.
Steady remembering lifts fear and softens whatever aches.
The litany continues: simrat dissolves bhai (fear), dukh (pain), durmat (bad turns), and santaap (agony). "Sins erased" is kept as "old mistakes wash clean." The rhythm itself is the teaching — a steady drumbeat of relief.
