ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਿਲਵਿਖ ਸਭਿ ਕਾਟੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਮਨਿ ਦੀਆ ॥
kar kirpaa kilvikh sabh kaatay naam nirmal man dee-aa.
Granting His Grace, He has eradicated all my sins; He has placed the Immaculate Naam within my mind.
ਗੁਣ ਨਿਧਾਨੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਬਾਹੁੜਿ ਦੂਖ ਨ ਥੀਆ ॥੨॥੪॥੮॥
gun niDhaan naanak man vasi-aa baahurh dookh na thee-aa. ||2||4||8||
O Nanak, the Treasure of Virtue fills my mind; I shall never again suffer in pain. ||2||4||8||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In kindness, the One cut away all my wrongs and placed the pure Naam in my mind.
Nanak says: the Treasure of all goodness has come to live in my mind, and pain will never come to me again.
Kindness can hand you a clean slate you could never have earned.
Kindness wipes away old wrongs and plants the pure Naam in the mind.
Kar kirpaa kilvikh sabh kaatay: by grace (kirpaa), all my wrongs were cut away. It is a clean slate, given as a gift. Naam nirmal man dee-aa: the spotless Naam is set in the mind like a seed.
Gun niDhaan naanak man vasi-aa: the Treasure of goodness comes to live there. Baahurh dookh na thee-aa: and pain does not come back.
