ਦੂਖ ਨਿਵਾਰਣੁ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਜਾਤਾ ॥
dookh nivaaran gur tay jaataa.
The Destroyer of pain is known through the Guru.
ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਜਗਜੀਵਨੁ ਦਾਤਾ ॥
aap mili-aa jagjeevan daataa.
The Great Giver, the Life of the world, Himself has met me.
ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਲਾਏ ਸੋਈ ਬੂਝੈ ਭਉ ਭਰਮੁ ਸਰੀਰਹੁ ਜਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੭॥
jis no laa-ay so-ee boojhai bha-o bharam sareerahu jaa-ee hay. ||7||
He alone understands, whom the Lord joins with Himself. Fear and doubt are taken away from his body. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One who dissolves every pain becomes known through the Guru.
The Great Giver, the very life of the world, has come and met me.
And when the One draws you close, fear and doubt lift right off you, like a weight set down.
Drawn close to the One, fear and doubt simply fall away.
The One is named dookh nivaaran, remover of pain. When the heart is drawn near, bha-o bharam (fear and doubt) is not fought but simply lifted away.
