ਗੁਰ ਕਾ ਸਬਦੁ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਜਾ ਕੈ ॥ ਦੂਖੁ ਦਰਦੁ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਤਾ ਕਾ ਭਾਗੈ ॥
gur kaa sabad vasai man jaa kai. dookh darad bharam taa kaa bhaagai.
Pain, sorrow and doubt run away from that one, within whose mind the Word of the Guru's Shabad abides.
ਸੂਖ ਸਹਜ ਆਨੰਦ ਨਾਮ ਰਸੁ ਅਨਹਦ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਹਜ ਧੁਨਾ ॥੧੦॥
sookh sahj aanand naam ras anhad banee sahj Dhunaa. ||10||
Intuitive peace, poise and bliss come from the sublime essence of the Naam; the unstruck sound current of the Guru's Bani intuitively vibrates and resounds. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the Guru's Word lives in someone's mind, their pain and sorrow and doubt run off.
A deep peace, an easy balance, a quiet joy rise up from the sweetness of the Name.
And underneath it all, an unstruck music seems to hum, gentle and natural.
When the Guru's Word lives in you, pain runs off and a quiet music hums underneath.
When the Shabad dwells in the mind, dookh, darad, and bharam — pain, sorrow, and doubt — flee. Sookh, sahj, and aanand — peace, natural poise, and bliss — rise from the naam ras, the sweetness of the Name, while the anhad, the unstruck sound, hums in sahaj. This is the raag's peace-note at its clearest.
