Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The hearts that are full of the One ring true wherever they go, and are welcomed as true in the truest place of all.
Their goodness echoes on and on, age after age, nothing can rub it out.
I bow with my whole heart to people like that, who keep the One tucked safe inside them.
This verse, which closes the shabad, says goodness held in the heart lasts forever.
Jin har man vasi-aa say dar saachay: people whose minds are full of the One are welcomed as true at the One's door.
Onaa dee sobhaa jug jug ho-ee: their good name echoes through every age. Ko-ay na maytanhaaraa: no one can rub it out.
Think of a kind grandparent. Years later, the family still tells stories about their gentleness. Nobody has to keep a trophy for it. It just stays alive in people's hearts.
Naanak tin kai sad balihaarai: Guru Amar Das, speaking as Nanak, says he would give himself wholly to such people. He bows with his whole heart to those who keep the One safe inside.
Whose goodness do you hope people still remember long from now?
