ਅਨੇਕ ਜਨਮ ਵਿਛੁੜੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਮਿਲਾਵੈਗੋ ॥
anayk janam vichhurhay mayray pareetam kar kirpaa guroo milaavaigo.
For countless lifetimes, I have been separated from my Beloved; in His Mercy, the Guru has united me with Him.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮਿਲਤ ਮਹਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਮਤਿ ਮਲੀਨ ਬਿਗਸਾਵੈਗੋ ॥੭॥
satgur milat mahaa sukh paa-i-aa mat maleen bigsaavaigo. ||7||
Meeting the True Guru, I have found absolute peace, and my polluted intellect blossoms forth. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
For many, many lifetimes I was apart from my Beloved. In kindness, the Guru has brought us together.
Meeting the True Guru, I have found great peace, and my muddy mind blossoms open like a flower.
After a long time apart, meeting the Guru makes the mind blossom.
After a long time apart, meeting the Guru brings great peace, and the mind opens like a flower.
Anayk janam vichhurhay: apart for many lifetimes. Mahaa sukh: great peace. Mat maleen: a muddy, clouded understanding. Bigsaavaigo: it blossoms, the way a lotus opens clean out of muddy water.
