One who has Naam of (har-i) the Almighty as (adhaar-u = support) guide for life, i.e. commits no transgressions, is not (lagaee) afflicted with (dookh-u) distress and (santaap-u = ailments) vices.

But only one whose (baah) arm (gur-i) the guru (pakarr-i) holds and (kaadhiaa) pulls out, (soee) only that person (utriaa) lands (paar-i) on far bank, i.e. overcomes the ocean of vices/temptations. 3.

The Almighty is (sukhdaataa) giver of peace and (bhanjno) destroyer of (bhai/bhav) rebirth (kar-i) make (ardaas-i) supplication (aagai) before (tis-u = that) the Almighty.

(Chhadd-i) leave (sagal) all (upaav) measures and (siaanap = wisdom) machinations and (laag-u) touch (charni) feet, i.e. obey instructions, (ki) of (gur) the guru – to obey Naam.

But (rattan-u = jewel) awareness of Naam (hoey) is (praapat-i) received by (tisah-i) that person in (jis-u) whose (mastak-i) forehead (bhaag-u) good fortune is written, i.e. awareness of Naam from the guru is received by Divine grace. 3.

Awareness of Naam (prapat-i) is received (tisai) by that person (jis-u) whom (prabh-u) the Almighty (aap-i) IT-self (deyvai) gives – by leading to the guru.

(So) that person (karai = does, seyva = service) follows the guru (jis-u) whose (taap-u) disease of (haumai = ego) acting by self-will (binsai = is destroyed) ends.

(Sagal) all (santaap) ailments/vices (binsey = destroyed) end of one (kau) by whom guru (bheyttiaa) is found, say Guru Nanak. 4. 8. 78.

Those in (kin kau) whose (mastak-i = forehead) destiny is (likhiaa) written, (tin) they (paaiaa) find Naam of (har-i) the Almighty present within. 1.

Note: The next verse uses the expressions ਦਰਗਹ (Dargah meaning God’s court) and ਪੈਧਾ (Paidhaa meaning wearing a robe). The latter word alludes to the old practice in royal courts whereby any one to be honoured was led to the royal presence wearing a robe of honour. Gurbani uses this expression for those who successfully complete their life journey and deserve honour before God. The practice of offering Siropas (robes of recognition) in Gurduaras is based on this.
