ਸਰਬ ਕਲਿਆਣ ਸੂਖ ਮਨਿ ਵੂਠੇ ॥
sarab kali-aan sookh man voothay.
I am blessed with total salvation, and my mind is filled with peace.
ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਏ ਗੁਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਤੂਠੇ ॥੨॥੧੨॥
har gun gaa-ay gur naanak toothay. ||2||12||
I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; O Nanak, the Guru has been gracious to me. ||2||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am blessed with every kind of well-being, and my mind is filled with peace.
I sing the praises of the One. Nanak says: the Guru has been kind to me.
Peace, when it comes, can fill your mind all the way to the brim.
Every kind of well-being comes to live in your mind, until it brims with peace.
The verse says sarab kali-aan sookh man voothay: every kind of well-being and peace comes to live in the mind. Then gur naanak toothay: the Guru is pleased and kind.
Picture a cup filled right to the brim. That is the mind here, full and at rest. This short shabad has just two verses, and it ends right there, in calm.
