ਸੋਗ ਸੰਤਾਪ ਕਟੇ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਆਪਿ ॥
sog santaap katay parabh aap.
God Himself has dispelled my sorrow and suffering.
ਗੁਰ ਅਪੁਨੇ ਕਉ ਨਿਤ ਨਿਤ ਜਾਪਿ ॥੨॥
gur apunay ka-o nit nit jaap. ||2||
I meditate continually, continuously, on my Guru. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One Himself has cut away my sorrow and my aching trouble.
I keep my Guru in mind, again and again, every day.
Some aches lift when you keep the right thing close in your mind.
The One cuts sorrow away, and you keep the Guru in mind every day.
Sog santaap katay parabh aap: the One Himself cut away sog, sorrow, and santaap, the burning ache of trouble. It is like cutting the ropes of a heavy backpack. The weight drops off all at once.
Gur apunay ka-o nit nit jaap: I remember my Guru nit nit, again and again, every day. Remembering is how you stay near someone you love, even when they are not in the room.
