Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who are attuned to the Name are immaculate and pure. Through the Guru, they obtain intuitive peace and poise.
Their minds and bodies are dyed in the Color of the Lord's Love. Their tongues savor His Sublime Essence.
O Nanak, that Primal Color which the Lord has applied — it shall not fade. It does not wash off.
The closing pauri introduces chokhe (immaculate, pure) — the state of those attuned to the Naam. The color metaphor (rang) returns: dyed in the Color of the Lord's Love, which unlike the world's fugitive dye, is permanent.
Prabh rang laayaa jo bhaavai — the Primal Color that pleases the Lord has been applied. The soul that receives this coloring does not revert. The dyeing is complete and permanent.
What transformation in yourself — a change in perspective, a quality that has grown, a way you've changed — feels permanent? Something that you could not go back from even if you tried?
