ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਫਿਰਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਨ ਲਾਗੈ ਧਾਇ ॥
satgur sayv sadaa sukh paa-i-aa fir dukh na laagai Dhaa-ay.
Serving the True Guru, lasting peace is obtained, and the mortal does not suffer in pain any longer.
ਨਾਨਕ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਹੋਈ ਜੋਤੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥੪॥੭॥੧੭॥
naanak har bhagat paraapat ho-ee jotee jot samaa-ay. ||4||7||17||
Nanak has been blessed with devotional worship of the Lord; his light has merged into the Light. ||4||7||17||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Serving the True Guru, a person finds lasting peace, and pain no longer comes running after them.
Nanak has been given devotion to the One, and his light has merged into the great Light.
Serve the True Guru, and lasting peace arrives while old hurts fade.
Serve the True Guru, and lasting peace comes, and pain stops chasing you.
Satgur sayv sadaa sukh paa-i-aa: serving the True Guru brings lasting peace. Fir dukh na laagai dhaa-ay: pain no longer runs after you. Har bhagat paraapat ho-ee: devotion to the One is given as a gift. Jotee jot samaa-ay: the small light merges into the great Light, the way a drop of rain joins the sea.
