Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name lifts up even those who feel they have fallen; it sets right the lives of those who love the One.
Finding the Teacher and keeping the One in mind, every real wish of mine was filled.
The fever of ego cooled, and I am glad through and through — I have met the One I was apart from so long. Peace has come, joy rings out like good news, and I will never let the One slip from my mind.
This verse is full of hope: the Name lifts up anyone who has fallen.
Patit paavan har naamaa: the One's Name makes the fallen clean again. Patit means fallen. No one is too far gone to be reached. Every person keeps their worth.
Ha-o taap binsay: the taap, fever, of ego has broken. Ego, the loud "me first" voice, is pictured as a sickness that heals. Think of how you feel when a fever finally breaks. You are tired, but light and clear again.
Vajee vadhaa-ee: congratulations ring out. It is a party inside, for a heart that has come home after being apart for so long.
When has someone's kindness helped you feel lifted up after a hard time?
