Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One lives in the village of my body, in its home and its temple. Turning toward the Guru, I remember the One's glory.
Here and in the life beyond, the One's people are made beautiful and honored. Their faces shine. Turning toward the Guru, they are carried across.
The One lives right inside your own body, and that inner home shows as ease and a shining face.
kaa-i-aa nagar vasi-o ghar mandar — the One lives in the kaa-i-aa nagar, the "body-village," in its homes and temples. jap sobhaa gurmukh karpafaa — facing the Guru, I sing of the One's glory.
halat palat jan bha-ay suhaylay — here and in the life beyond, the One's people are suhaylay, at ease. mukh oojal — their faces shine. That glow on the outside comes from peace on the inside. gurmukh tarfaa — and they are carried safely across.
Think of a house with its lights on at night. You can see the glow from the street, because something warm is happening inside.
When you feel at ease inside, how do others notice it in you?
