ਗੁਰੁ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਸਰੁ ਜੋ ਇਛੇ ਸੋ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਏ ॥
gur saagar amrit sar jo ichhay so fal paa-ay.
The Guru is the pool of nectar in the world-ocean; whatever one desires, that fruit is obtained.
ਨਾਮੁ ਪਦਾਰਥੁ ਅਮਰੁ ਹੈ ਹਿਰਦੈ ਮੰਨਿ ਵਸਾਏ ॥
naam padaarath amar hai hirdai man vasaa-ay.
The treasure of the Naam brings immortality; enshrine it in your heart and mind.
ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਸਦਾ ਸੁਖੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਮਨਾਏ ॥੭॥
gur sayvaa sadaa sukh hai jis no hukam manaa-ay. ||7||
Serving the Guru, eternal peace is obtained, by those whom the Lord inspires to obey the Hukam of His Command. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Guru is like a cool, sweet pool: whatever the heart needs, it finds there.
The Name is a treasure that never dies; I keep it tucked in my heart. Living close to the Guru, moving with the flow of life, a lasting peace settles in.
The Guru is a pool that meets whatever your heart needs.
Gur saagar amrit sar: the Guru as an ocean of nectar. Naam padaarath amar: the Naam is a treasure that never dies. Gur sevaa sadaa sukh: steady peace for those aligned with the hukam.
