ਸੁਣਿ ਮਨ ਮੇਰੇ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰਿ ॥
sun man mayray sabad veechaar.
Listen, O my mind: contemplate the Word of the Shabad.
ਰਾਮ ਜਪਹੁ ਭਵਜਲੁ ਉਤਰਹੁ ਪਾਰਿ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
raam japahu bhavjal utarahu paar. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Chant the Lord's Name, and cross over the terrifying world-ocean. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Listen, my mind: turn the Word over in your heart. Keep the One's Name alive, and cross the terrifying ocean of life.
Listen, hold the Word, keep the Name -- and the deep is crossed.
The Rahao: deep listening plus contemplation of the Word plus the Name -- the standard equipment for crossing the world-ocean. Three verbs, one crossing.
