Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
She is free. The Guru has untied her knots. With her attention on the Word, she is honored.
Nanak says: the Naam of the One lives deep in her heart. Turning to the Guru, she is joined with the One.
Being set free feels like a tight knot finally coming loose.
Mukat bha-ee banDhan gur kholay — she is free, because the Guru untied her bonds. Think of a shoelace knot you could not pick apart, until someone patient loosened it for you.
Sabad surat pat paa-ee — with her attention resting on the Shabad, the Word, she gains pat, honor. Raam naam rid antar — the Name lives deep inside her heart. Gurmukh mayl milaa-ee — facing the Guru, she is joined to the One.
What is a worry that felt like a tight knot until it finally loosened?
