Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever brings the five senses under control is given forgiveness, patience and contentment through the Guru's teaching.
Blessed, blessed, great and complete is that humble servant of the One, who sings the One's praises with awe and a heart that lets go.
When you guide your senses well, forgiveness and contentment grow in you.
Indree panch are the five senses: seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. Guiding them is gentle steering, like holding a kite string steady so the kite rides the wind. From that steadiness grow khimaa, forgiveness, and santokh, contentment, the gladness of having enough.
The verse praises the one who sings with bhai bairaag. Bhai is often translated as fear, and bairaag means letting go. The fear here is the deep wonder you feel before something very great: respect and awe.
What is one craving that, when you don't chase it, leaves you feeling more free?
