O mother, I have gathered the wealth of the Lord's Name.
ਮਨੁ ਮੇਰੋ ਧਾਵਨ ਤੇ ਛੂਟਿਓ ਕਰਿ ਬੈਠੋ ਬਿਸਰਾਮੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

My mind has stopped its wanderings, and now, it has come to rest. ||1||Pause||
ਮਾਇਆ ਮਮਤਾ ਤਨ ਤੇ ਭਾਗੀ ਉਪਜਿਓ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਗਿਆਨੁ ॥

Attachment to Maya has run away from my body, and immaculate spiritual wisdom has welled up within me.
ਲੋਭ ਮੋਹ ਏਹ ਪਰਸਿ ਨ ਸਾਕੈ ਗਹੀ ਭਗਤਿ ਭਗਵਾਨ ॥੧॥

The cynicism of countless lifetimes has been eradicated, since I obtained the jewel of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

My mind was rid of all its desires, and I was absorbed in the peace of my own inner being. ||2||

That person, unto whom the Merciful Lord shows compassion, sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe.
