Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The old thirst is finally quenched, and something inside me goes cool and calm.

The perfect Guru mends the part of me that was broken. Awareness of the Word wakes in my heart, and I drink in the nectar, sip after sip.

The perfect Guru mends what was broken and cools the burning thirst.
The deeper layer

trisnaa boojhee antar thandhaa — thirst quenched, the inner being cooled and soothed. gur poorai lai tootaa gandhaa — the perfect Guru mends the broken. Maaroo as medicine: healing the burning thirst and the broken places, then drinking the amio (nectar).

A Question to Sit With

What helps you feel cooled and calm after a hard day?
