Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Dyed in the Naam, ego goes away.
Dyed in the Naam, you stay merged in the True One.
Dyed in the Naam, you understand the way of yoga.
Dyed in the Naam, you find the door to freedom.
Dyed in the Naam, you understand all three worlds.
Nanak says: dyed in the Naam, you have peace forever.
Everything the seekers were chasing is folded inside one thing: the Name.
Naamay raatay, dyed or soaked in the Name. In a single verse Nanak folds the Siddhas' entire quest into it: naam ratay jog jugat beechaar, the Name itself is the way of yoga they have been seeking, and mokh duaar, the door of liberation.
