Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

My prayer was heard, and everything came right.

The greatness of the teaching shines clear, through every age.

A heartfelt prayer is heard, and in time things come right.
The deeper layer

The prayer was heard, and everything came right.

The shabad ends in quiet thanks. Sunee ardaas su-aamee mayrai — my Master heard my prayer. An ardaas is a heartfelt prayer, a humble asking. Sarab kalaa ban aa-ee — all my affairs came together.

It feels like calling home when you are worried, and hearing a calm voice say, "It's okay. I've got this."

Then the view widens. The greatness of Guru Nanak's teaching shines through every age. This comfort is not just for one person. It is a steady light that everyone can share, then and now. It is a restful, trusting place to end.

A Question to Sit With

What is something you once prayed or wished for that quietly came true?
