ਨਦੀਏ ਸੱਚ ਨਹਾ ਕੇ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਕਰਾਈ
O river, by bathing me in truth, you made me pure.
nadiye sach naha ke nirmal karai
ਨਦੀਏ (nadiye) = O river
ਸੱਚ (sach) = truth
ਨਹ ਾ ਕੇ (naha ke) = by bathing / having bathed
ਨਿਰਮਲ (nirmal) = pure / cleansed
ਕਰਾਈ (karai) = made (me) / caused to becomeThe “river” is symbolic, pointing to a source of spiritual flow—often understood as Guru, divine wisdom, or truth itself. The key idea is sharp: purification doesn’t happen through outer acts, but by immersion in truth (ਸੱਚ). The river is what enables that process—it actively cleanses the inner state.
