Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Worship the Lord — Har, Har, Har — and you become well.
The Lord's healing wand drives every sickness away.
The Name heals.
This short shabad has two verses, so it is called a Du-Pada. These opening lines are its rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the one the shabad turns on. Har har har aaraaDhee-ai — remember the One again and again. Ho-ee-ai aarog — and you become well. Aarog means healthy, free of sickness.
Raamchand kee lastikaa jin maari-aa rog — this is the Lord's healing stick that drives sickness away. Raamchand is a name for the One here. In Gurbani, rog often means the sicknesses of the mind: worry, greed, anger and fear. Think of how a hug from a parent calms you when you are upset. Remembering the One works on the heart like that.
What settles you so well it feels a little like healing?
