Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Kindness reached me, and the deep wish of my heart was filled.
Washed clean inside, I came home and found gladness, joy, and peace waiting.
The Guru was kind, the deep wish of the heart was filled, and coming home felt like joy.
Gur poorai kirpaa dhaaree — the perfect Guru showed kindness. Prabh pooree loch hamaaree — God filled my longing. A loch is a deep wish, the kind you carry quietly for a long time.
Kar isnaan garihi aa-ay — after bathing, I came home. The bath here is also a washing inside, a fresh, clean start. This picture of getting clean and then coming home shows up again and again in these shabads.
Think of coming home after a long, tiring trip. You wash up, sit down, and the whole house feels warm. Anad mangal sukh paa-ay — I found joy, happiness and peace.
What is a longing of yours -- and what would it feel like for it to be gently answered?
