ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਉਪਜੈ ਸਾਚਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ॥
gurmukh upjai saach samaavai.
The Gurmukh wells up from, and then merges back into Truth.
ਨਾ ਮਰਿ ਜੰਮੈ ਨ ਜੂਨੀ ਪਾਵੈ ॥
naa mar jammai na joonee paavai.
He does not die and take birth, and is not consigned to reincarnation.
ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਦਾ ਰਹਹਿ ਰੰਗਿ ਰਾਤੇ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਲੈਦੇ ਲਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੩॥
gurmukh sadaa raheh rang raatay an-din laiday laahaa hay. ||13||
The Gurmukh remains forever imbued with the color of the Lord's Love. Night and day, he earns a profit. ||13||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The awakened heart rises out of what is real and melts back into it.
It rests beyond the round of coming and going.
Colored always by love, day and night it gathers the truest gain.
Life can be seen as rising from and returning to one ocean.
Gurmukh upjai saach samaavai — rising from Truth and merging back into Truth: a gentle picture of life as a wave rising from and returning to one ocean. Rang raatay — dyed in love. Coming and going lose their sting when seen this way.
