He has subdued all his anxiety.
ਤਿਸੁ ਗੁਰ ਕਉ ਹਉ ਸਦ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ॥੧॥
tis gur ka-o ha-o sad balihaaree. ||1||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One has given me, a servant, work to do in service.
The Divine Guru has placed the sweet Naam in my mouth.
All my worry, the Guru has taken away.
I give my whole self to that Guru, always.
Service and the Naam quiet your worry.
Sayvak laa-i-o apunee sayv — linked to service; amrit naam dee-o mukh — the Name placed in the mouth. Saglee chintaa aap nivaaree — all anxiety dissolved. Good work and something true to hold are what quiet the worry.
