Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You are the True Support of me, the poor mortal, O perfect true Guru.
Gazing on the sight of You, my mind is encouraged.
When human company fails you, the sight of what is true can still lift your heart.
The Pause: the Guru is "the True Support" of "me, the poor mortal," and His Darshan "encourages" the mind. Where human companions fail, the Guru's sight lifts the heart. Seeing the Guru is itself courage for the discouraged (cf. Shabad 171).
