Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Your hopes will be fulfilled,
and death's noose is cut away from you.
So listen to the Guru's teaching.
Nanak says: you will settle into a peace that is easy and deep.
Listening to the Guru loosens death's hold and settles you into peace.
Jam kee katee-ai tayree faas — the noose of death is cut. In the old picture, death comes as a messenger with a rope; here it loses its hold. Sukh sahj sameejai: absorbed into sahaj, the natural, unforced peace.
A Question to Sit With
