ਜਬ ਮੁਖਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮੁ ਸਾਜਨੁ ਲਾਗਾ ॥
jab mukh pareetam saajan laagaa.
When I saw my Beloved's face before me,
ਸੂਖ ਸਹਜ ਮੇਰਾ ਧਨੁ ਸੋਹਾਗਾ ॥
sookh sahj mayraa Dhan sohaagaa.
I became so happy and peaceful; my married life was blessed.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮੋਰੀ ਪੂਰਨ ਆਸਾ ॥
kaho naanak moree pooran aasaa.
Says Nanak, my desires are fulfilled.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮੇਲੀ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਗੁਣਤਾਸਾ ॥੪॥੧॥੯੫॥
satgur maylee parabh guntaasaa. ||4||1||95||
The True Guru has united me with God, the treasure of excellence. ||4||1||95||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When I saw my Beloved's face before me, I became so happy and at peace; my whole life was blessed.
Says Nanak: my desires are fulfilled — the true Guru has united me with the One, the treasure of all excellence.
One sight of the Beloved's face, and the whole of life is blessed.
The close: seeing the Beloved's face (Darshan) brings complete happiness and peace, and "my married life was blessed." Every desire is fulfilled in the union the Guru arranged. The orphan-made-queen's whole story resolves in the sight of the Beloved.
