Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name was planted in me, and it clears away whatever blocks the road and quiets every pain.
The old mistakes fell away, everything in me came clean, and I arrived at a home made of peace.
The Name clears the road and quiets every pain.
Bighan binaasan sabh dukh naasan — the Name removes every obstacle and ends every pain. A bighan is a block in the road, something that stops you.
Satgur naam drirh-aa-i-aa — the true Guru planted the Name firmly in me. Think of a seed pressed deep into the soil by a gardener's thumb. It holds tight, so it can grow strong roots.
Kho-ay paap bha-ay sabh paavan — the wrongs were wiped away, and everything became clean. Jan naanak sukh ghar aa-i-aa — servant Nanak came home to peace. The shabad started with a homecoming, and it ends with one too.
What is something good you would like to plant firmly in yourself?
