ਜੁਗਿ ਜੁਗਿ ਸੰਤ ਭਲੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੇਰੇ ॥
jug jug sant bhalay parabh tayray.
Throughout the ages, Your Saints are holy and sublime, O God.
ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵਹਿ ਰਸਨ ਰਸੇਰੇ ॥
har gun gaavahi rasan rasayray.
They sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, savoring it with their tongues.
ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਦੁਖੁ ਦਾਲਦੁ ਜਿਨ ਨਾਹੀ ਚਿੰਤ ਪਰਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੩॥
ustat karahi parhar dukh daalad jin naahee chint paraa-ee hay. ||3||
They chant His Praises, and their pain and poverty are taken away; they are not afraid of anyone else. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
In every age, Your saints are good and gentle.
They sing of the One and savor it like something sweet upon the tongue.
As they sing, their aches and their worries lift, and they are not afraid of anyone.
Singing of the One can soften pain and melt away fear.
Praise-singing is shown as medicine: it lifts pain and poverty (dukh, daalad) and dissolves fear of others. Fearlessness here is freedom from being cowed, not aggression.
