ਇਕਿ ਸੋਗੀ ਇਕਿ ਰੋਗਿ ਵਿਆਪੇ ॥
ik sogee ik rog vi-aapay.
Some are sad, and some are afflicted with disease.
ਜੋ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰੇ ਸੁ ਆਪੇ ਆਪੇ ॥
jo kichh karay so aapay aapay.
Whatever God does, He does by Himself.
ਭਗਤਿ ਭਾਉ ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਮਤਿ ਪੂਰੀ ਅਨਹਦਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਲਖਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੧੨॥
bhagat bhaa-o gur kee mat pooree anhad sabad lakhaa-ee hay. ||12||
Through loving devotion, and the Perfect Teachings of the Guru, the unstruck sound current of the Shabad is realized. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Some days bring sadness, and some bodies carry illness; this is part of the world.
Whatever unfolds, it is all held within the One.
And through love and the Guru's perfect teaching, I begin to hear the quiet music that was always playing.
Even sadness and sickness are held within the One who is always near.
Sorrow and illness are part of the world, and all of it is held within the One. Even in hard times, the anahad, the quiet inner music, becomes hearable through love and the Guru's teaching.
