A description of the experience
jat paahaaraa Dheeraj suni-aar.
Let self-control be the furnace,
and patience the goldsmith.
ahran mat vayd hathee-aar.
Let understanding be the anvil,
and religious wisdom the tools.
bha-o khalaa agan tap taa-o.
Fear of God the bellows;
fan the flames of your body's inner heat.
bhaaNdaa bhaa-o amrit tit dhaal.
In the crucible of love,
melt the Amrit Nectar of the Naam,
gharhee-ai sabad sachee taksaal.
Forge the Shabad in the True mint.
jin ka-o nadar karam tin kaar.
Whoever is showered with His Grace,
karma of their actions excel.
naanak nadree nadar nihaal.
O Nanak, the Merciful Lord’s Glance
uplifts and rescues them.
