Verified · BaniDBਜਿਨੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਗਏ ਮਸਕਤਿ ਘਾਲਿ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਤੇ ਮੁਖ ਉਜਲੇ ਕੇਤੀ ਛੁਟੀ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥
Jinee naam dhiaaiaa gae masakat ghaal. Naanak te mukh ujale ketee chhuttee naal.
Meaning
Those who contemplated the Naam, and gave their effort to it, depart with their work complete. Their faces shine — and many others are freed along with them.
ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਨਾਮ ਨੂੰ ਧਿਆਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਲਈ ਮਿਹਨਤ ਕੀਤੀ, ਉਹ ਆਪਣਾ ਕੰਮ ਪੂਰਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਚਿਹਰੇ ਚਮਕਦੇ ਹਨ — ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਹੋਰ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਵੀ ਮੁਕਤ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ।
