Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
No hurt can settle on the heart that hungers for You.
The one who understands is honored all around, and old troubles simply run off, washed away in the humble dust of the Guru's feet.
You are the friend of all, and everyone feels You are their own; through Your humble servant, the whole world comes to know You.
A heart hungry for the One gives pain nowhere to land.
A servant of the One, so filled with the One that pain finds no place to land, shines in all four directions. The 'dust of the Guru's feet' is an image of humility, the willingness to be low and teachable. The Lord is known through such humble ones.
