ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਵਡ ਦਾਣਾ ॥
satgur purakh daataa vad daanaa.
The True Guru, the Primal Being, the Great Giver, is all-knowing.
ਜਿਸੁ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਸਾਚੁ ਸੁ ਸਬਦਿ ਸਮਾਣਾ ॥
jis antar saach so sabad samaanaa.
Whoever has Truth within himself, merges in the Word of the Shabad.
ਜਿਸ ਕਉ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਮੇਲਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਤਿਸੁ ਚੂਕਾ ਜਮ ਭੈ ਭਾਰਾ ਹੇ ॥੬॥
jis ka-o satgur mayl milaa-ay tis chookaa jam bhai bhaaraa hay. ||6||
One whom the True Guru unites in Union, is rid of the overpowering fear of death. ||6||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The True Guru, the Primal Being, is the great Giver, all-knowing.
Whoever carries Truth inside melts into the living Word.
And whoever the True Guru brings close is freed from the heavy fear of death.
Held in the Word, even the fear of death falls quietly away.
The True Guru is purakh (the Primal Being) and daataa (the Giver). Whoever holds Truth inside merges in the sabad, and whoever the Guru unites is rid of jam bhai — the heavy fear of death.
