Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The fever and the aches are gone, every sickness has cleared, and God has forgiven you; so enjoy the joy the saints know.
Happiness fills your world, and your mind and body are well. So sing the praises of the One every day; this is the medicine that works.
Singing the praises of the One is the medicine that works.
Healing comes, and singing praise keeps you well. Taap santaap saglay ga-ay binsay tay rog — fever, affliction, and disease all dissolve; santan ras bhog — taste the joy the saints know. Gun gaavhu... ih avkhad jog — singing praise is the one true medicine (avkhad). The Bilaaval healing note at full strength: kirtan as cure.
