ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਭਗਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮੁ ਸੁਖ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਉਰ ਧਾਰੇ ॥
har har naam bhagat pari-a pareetam sukh saagar ur Dhaaray.
The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is sweet and dear to His devotees; it is the ocean of peace - enshrine it within the heart.
ਭਗਤਿ ਵਛਲੁ ਜਗਜੀਵਨੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਮਤਿ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਿਸਤਾਰੇ ॥੩॥
bhagat vachhal jagjeevan daataa mat gurmat har nistaaray. ||3||
The Lover of His devotees, the Life of the World, the Lord bestows the Guru's Teachings upon the intellect, and one is emancipated. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Name of the One is sweet and dear to those who love — it is an ocean of peace; keep it in your heart.
The Lover of His devotees, the Life of the world, settles the Guru's teaching into the mind, and the soul is set free.
To those who love it, the Name is sweet — an ocean of peace to keep in the heart.
For the devotee the Name is not duty but sweetness — "sweet and dear," "an ocean of peace." The One is named "the Lover of His devotees": the relationship runs both ways. Liberation arrives when the teaching is settled into the mind — lodged, not just heard.
