ਨਾਮਿ ਰਤੇ ਤਿਨ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਦੇਹਾ ॥
naam ratay tin nirmal dayhaa.
Those who are imbued with the Naam - their bodies are immaculate and pure.
ਨਿਰਮਲ ਹੰਸਾ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਨੇਹਾ ॥
nirmal hansaa sadaa sukh nayhaa.
Their soul-swan is immaculate, and in the Lord's Love, they find eternal peace.
ਨਾਮੁ ਸਲਾਹਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਨਿਜ ਘਰਿ ਵਾਸਾ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥
naam salaahi sadaa sukh paa-i-aa nij ghar vaasaa paa-idaa. ||10||
Praising the Naam, they find eternal peace, and dwell in the home of their own inner being. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those filled with the Name shine clean and clear. Their soul — like a pure white swan — rests in a lasting peace, warm with love.
Singing the Name, they come home to the quiet place inside themselves and stay.
The soul kept close to the Name is like a bright swan resting on still water.
The soul is pictured as a hansaa (swan), an emblem of purity that recurs across the raags of longing. Nij ghar means one's own true home — the settled inner place where the Name-filled soul comes to rest.
