Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Someone who could not see is filled with joy on seeing again.
Someone who could not speak now speaks and sings song after song.
Someone who could not walk now climbs right over the mountain.
Just so, the Name of the One lifts and saves everyone.
The Name brings the joy of the impossible becoming possible.
The verse gives three pictures of sudden joy.
Ji-o anDhulay paykhat ho-ay anand — someone who could not see now sees, and fills with delight. Anand means deep joy.
Goongaa bakat gaavai baho chhand — someone who could not speak now sings song after song.
Pingul parbat partay paar — someone who could not walk now climbs right over a mountain.
Each picture is about being set free and bursting with joy. Think of the moment the training wheels come off and you are riding on your own. Suddenly you can do what felt impossible.
Then the point. Har kai naam sagal uDhaar — the Name lifts up everyone. Sagal means all. No one is left out.
When has something you thought impossible suddenly become possible?
