Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The body turns to gold, and the soul, like a swan, is spotless and pure, when even a tiny spark of the spotless Naam is inside.
All pain and sickness are gone.
Nanak says: a person is set free through the True Naam.
Even a tiny spark of the Name makes us shine and heals the deep ache.
Kanchan kaa-i-aa nirmal hans: the body becomes golden, and the soul shines clean. Kanchan means gold. Hans means swan, an old picture for the soul. When does this happen? Jis meh naam niranjan ans: when even a tiny bit of the pure Name is inside.
Then all the pain and sickness go away. Think of one small candle in a dark room. It changes the whole room. Guru Nanak closes the song: we are freed through the True Name. This is the medicine the doctor could not give.
How can something very small — a spark, a seed — still change everything?
