Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Speak the Word, and the moon of the mind fills with endless light.
When the sun comes to live in the moon's house, the darkness ends.
Joy and sorrow become the same when the Naam is your support.
The One carries you across.
Trusting the Guru, the mind merges in Truth.
Nanak prays: then death does not swallow you.
Holding joy and sorrow evenly, with the Naam as your support, is the warrior who faces death without fear.
The sun in the moon's house is awareness lighting up the calm mind. Sukh dukh sam, joy and pain held the same, answers the question of who conquers death: kaal na khaa-ay, death does not swallow the one whose mind rests in Truth. Death still comes to every body; what changes is its hold on the heart.
What helps you stay even when good and hard days come and go?
