ਜਬ ਸੁਪ੍ਰਸੰਨ ਭਏ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਮੇਰੇ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪਰਚਾ ਲਾਇ ॥
jab suparsan bha-ay parabh mayray gurmukh parchaa laa-ay.
When my God is totally pleased, the mortal tunes in and becomes Gurmukh.
ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪਤ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇ ॥੫॥੪॥
naanak naam niranjan paa-i-aa naam japat sukh paa-ay. ||5||4||
Nanak has obtained the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. Chanting the Naam, he has found peace. ||5||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the One is fully pleased, your heart tunes in and turns to the Guru.
Nanak says: I have found the pure Naam. Saying the Naam, I have found peace.
The search ends in peace when the Name is found and held.
When the One is pleased, the heart tunes in, and the Naam brings peace.
Jab suparsan bha-ay prabh mayray — when my Master is fully pleased, gurmukh parchaa laa-ay, the heart turns to the Guru and tunes in.
Naanak naam niranjan paa-i-aa — Nanak has found the pure Naam. Naam japat sukh paa-ay — saying the Naam, peace is found. Think of turning a radio dial through static until the station comes in clear. The music was there all along.
