Chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, I have found total peace. I remain unattached in the midst of my household. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Mother, the tight knot of the fear of dying has been cut away.
Chanting the One's Name, Har, Har, I have found every kind of peace. Right in the middle of my home and family, I stay light and free.
You can be free right in the middle of an ordinary, busy life.
The jam kee faas — the tight knot of fear about death — is untied, and a deep peace comes, held right inside ordinary household life (garsat udaas). Freedom is lightness in the middle of things.
