The powerful fire of corruption is raging violently within; the Word of the Guru's Shabad is the ice water which cools and soothes.
ਤਨਿ ਮਨਿ ਸਾਂਤਿ ਹੋਇ ਅਧਿਕਾਈ ਰੋਗੁ ਕਾਟੈ ਸੂਖਿ ਸਵੀਜੈ ॥੩॥

My mind and body are calm and tranquil; the disease has been cured, and now I sleep in peace. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A strong fire of wrong wanting is raging inside me. The Guru's Word is ice-cold water that cools it.
Now my mind and body are calm and at peace. The sickness is cured, and I sleep peacefully.
The right words, at the right time, can cool a burning heart like water.
The Guru's Word cools the fire of wrong wanting the way ice water cools a burn, and then mind and body can rest.
Antar agan sabal at bikhi-aa: a powerful fire of corruption burning inside. Hiv seetal sabad gur: the Guru's Word, cool as ice water. Tan man saant: mind and body grow calm. Rog kaatai: the sickness is cut away, and sookh saveejai, I sleep in peace. Healing comes first, then rest.
