Fourth Mehl:
ਹਰਿ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਸਜਣੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਹਰਿ ਮੈ ਮਨਿ ਤਨਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਰੀਰਿ ॥
har parabh sajan naam har mai man tan naam sareer.
The Name of the Lord God is my Best Friend. My mind and body are drenched with the Naam.
ਸਭਿ ਆਸਾ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਪੂਰੀਆ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਣਿ ਹਰਿ ਧੀਰ ॥੨॥
sabh aasaa gurmukh pooree-aa jan naanak sun har Dheer. ||2||
All the hopes of the Gurmukh are fulfilled; servant Nanak is comforted, hearing the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Naam of the One is my best friend. My mind and body are soaked through with the Naam, like cloth taking up color.
Every hope of the one who faces the Guru comes true. Nanak says: hearing the Naam of the One, I am comforted.
The Name is the friend that soaks all the way through you.
The Naam is your closest friend, and just hearing it brings comfort.
Sajan means a dear friend, the one you would call first. Man tan naam: the Naam fills mind and body, like water soaking into a sponge. Sun har dheer: hearing the One brings dheer, a calm, steady comfort.
A Question to Sit With
