Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
One look at the teacher and I am lifted; whatever such a person sets out to do comes out whole.
No pain can hold them down, and their goodness shines out in every direction.
The Guru says that seeing the Teacher lifts the heart, and pain cannot hold down the one who serves.
Gur kaa darsan daykh nihaal — one look at the Guru, and I am filled with joy. Darsan means seeing someone you love. Nihaal means lifted up and happy.
Ghaal means hard work. For the one who serves the Guru, that work comes out pooran, whole and complete.
Dukh na bi-aapai — pain does not settle on them. Hard days still come. But their roots go down into something steady. Think of a tall tree in the wind. The branches sway, but the roots hold firm.
Dah dis jaapai — they are known in all ten directions. Their goodness is seen everywhere.
Who do you know that stays steady even when hard things happen?
